An issue has been found in wget, a tool to retrieve files from the web. A race condition might occur as files rejected by an access list are kept on the disk for the duration of a HTTP connection.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 1.16-1+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your wget packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
