Severity: Normal
Title: Wget: User-assisted file creation or overwrite
Date: October 13, 2011
Bugs: #329941
ID: 201110-10
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Insecure usage of server provided filenames may allow the creation or
overwriting of local files.
Background
==========
GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP,
HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/wget < 1.12-r2 >= 1.12-r2
Description
===========
It was discovered that Wget was unsafely trusting server-provided
filenames. This allowed attackers to overwrite or create files on the
user's system by sending a redirect from the expected URL to another
URL specifying the targeted file.
Impact
======
An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to create or overwrite
local files by enticing the user to open an attacker controlled URL,
possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Wget users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/wget-1.12-r2"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since September 19, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
