Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2016-165-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget' package(s) announced via the SSA:2016-165-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wget' package(s) announced via the SSA:2016-165-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New wget packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/wget-1.18-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This version fixes a security vulnerability present in all old versions of wget. On a server redirect from HTTP to a FTP resource, wget would trust the HTTP server and use 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. The vulnerability was discovered by Dawid Golunski and was reported by Beyond Security's SecuriTeam. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'wget' package(s) on Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
