retrieval utility for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.
Security Fix(es):
* It was found that wget used a file name provided by the server for the
downloaded file when following an HTTP redirect to a FTP server resource.
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-2016-4971)
Red Hat would like to thank GNU wget project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Dawid Golunski as the original reporter.
