The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-16 (GNU Wget: Header injection)

It was discovered that there was a header injection vulnerability in GNU       Wget which allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via       CRLF sequences in the host subcomponent of a URL.

Impact :

A remote attacker could inject arbitrary HTTP headers in requests by       tricking a user running GNU Wget into processing crafted URLs.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
