  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2014:0151 advisory.

    The wget package provides the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for HTTP,
    HTTPS, and FTP protocols. Wget provides various useful features, such as
    the ability to work in the background while the user is logged out,
    recursive retrieval of directories, file name wildcard matching or updating
    files in dependency on file timestamp comparison.

    It was discovered that wget used a file name provided by the server when
    saving a downloaded file. This could cause wget to create a file with a
    different name than expected, possibly allowing the server to execute
    arbitrary code on the client. (CVE-2010-2252)

    Note: With this update, wget always uses the last component of the original
    URL as the name for the downloaded file. Previous behavior of using the
    server provided name or the last component of the redirected URL when
    creating files can be re-enabled by using the '--trust-server-names'
    command line option, or by setting 'trust_server_names=on' in the wget
    start-up file.

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * Prior to this update, the wget package did not recognize HTTPS SSL
    certificates with alternative names (subjectAltName) specified in the
    certificate as valid. As a consequence, running the wget command failed
    with a certificate error. This update fixes wget to recognize such
    certificates as valid. (BZ#1060113)

    All users of wget are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
    contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
