 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2010:170
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : wget
 Date    : September 2, 2010
 Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, 2010.1, Corporate 4.0,
           Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in wget:
 
 GNU Wget 1.12 and earlier uses a server-provided filename instead of
 the original URL to determine the destination filename of a download,
 which allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files
 via a 3xx redirect to a URL with a .wgetrc filename followed by a
 3xx redirect to a URL with a crafted filename, and possibly execute
 arbitrary code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home
 directory (CVE-2010-2252).
 
 Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended
 Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
 http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
