Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1904-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DSA-1904-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DSA-1904-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Daniel Stenberg discovered that wget, a network utility to retrieve files from the Web using HTTP(S) and FTP, is vulnerable to the 'Null Prefix Attacks Against SSL/TLS Certificates' published at the Blackhat conference some time ago. This allows an attacker to perform undetected man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted ITU-T X.509 certificate with an injected null byte in the Common Name field. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.2-2+etch1. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.4-2+lenny1. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.12-1. We recommend that you upgrade your wget packages. Affected Software/OS: 'wget' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
