"Jan Minar discovered a path traversal vulnerability in wget. If the
name '..' was a valid host name (which can be achieved with a
malicious or poisoned domain name server), it was possible to trick
wget into creating downloaded files into arbitrary locations with
arbitrary names. For example, wget could silently overwrite the users
~/.bashrc and other configuration files which are executed
automatically. (CAN-2004-1487)

Jan Minar also discovered that wget printed HTTP response strings from
the server to the terminal without any filtering. Malicious HTTP
servers could exploit this to send arbitrary terminal sequences and
strings which would then be executed and printed to the console. This
could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges
of the user invoking wget. (CAN-2004-1488)

Hugo Vazquez Carames discovered a race condition when writing output
files. After wget determined the output file name, but before the file
was actually opened (the time window is determined by the delay of the
first received data packet), a local attacker with with write
permission to the download directory could create a symbolic link with
the name of the output file. This could be exploited to overwrite
arbitrary files with the permissions of the user invoking wget.
(CAN-2004-2014).

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