Title:	RedHat Update for wget RHSA-2016:2587-02
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The wget packages provide the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols. Security Fix(es): * It was found that wget used a file name provided by the server for the downloaded file when following an HTTP redirect to a FTP server resource. This could cause wget to create a file with a different name than expected, possibly allowing the server to execute arbitrary code on the client. (CVE-2016-4971) Red Hat would like to thank GNU wget project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Dawid Golunski as the original reporter. Additional Changes: For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section. Affected Software/OS: wget on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
