Title:	CentOS Update for wget CESA-2009:1549 centos4 i386
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: GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility that can use HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Daniel Stenberg reported that Wget is affected by the previously published 'null prefix attack', caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse Wget into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2009-3490) Wget users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: wget on CentOS 4 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
