Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0431
Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0431)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0431 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0431 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated wget package fixes security vulnerability: Wget was susceptible to a symlink attack which could create arbitrary files, directories or symbolic links and set their permissions when retrieving a directory recursively through FTP (CVE-2014-4877). The default settings in wget have been changed such that wget no longer creates local symbolic links, but rather traverses them and retrieves the pointed-to file in such a retrieval. The old behaviour can be attained by passing the --retr-symlinks=no option to the wget command. Affected Software/OS: 'wget' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
