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.
