Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2016.536
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-536-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DLA-536-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DLA-536-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
On a server redirect from HTTP to a FTP resource, wget would trust the HTTP server and uses the name in the redirected URL as the destination filename. This behaviour was changed and now it works similarly as a redirect from HTTP to another HTTP resource so the original name is used as the destination file. To keep the previous behaviour the user must provide --trust-server-names.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.13.4-3+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your wget packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'wget' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
