Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68228
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-982-1 (wget)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to wget
announced via advisory USN-982-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Wget would use filenames provided by the server when
following 3xx redirects. If a user or automated system were tricked into
downloading a file from a malicious site, a remote attacker could create
the file with an arbitrary name (e.g. .wgetrc), and possibly run arbitrary
code.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
wget 1.10.2-1ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
wget 1.10.2-3ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 9.04:
wget 1.11.4-2ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 9.10:
wget 1.11.4-2ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
wget 1.12-1.1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: This update changes previous behaviour by ignoring the filename
supplied by the server during redirects. To re-enable previous behaviour,
use the new --trust-server-names option.
