Subject:		Linux: wget directory traversal and buffer overrun vulnerabilities
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-003.0
Issue date: 		2003 January 16
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Stefano Zacchiroli found a buffer overrun in the url_filename
	function, which would make wget segfault on very long urls.

	Steven M. Christey discovered that wget did not verify the FTP
	server response to a NLST command: it must not contain any
	directory information, since that can be used to make a FTP
	client overwrite arbitrary files.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to wget-1.7.1-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to wget-1.7.1-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to wget-1.7.1-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to wget-1.7.1-3.i386.rpm


3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
