GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200212-7

PACKAGE : wget
SUMMARY═: directory traversal
DATE ══ : 2002-12-20 17:12 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote

Quote from advisory

"A malicious server could potentially overwrite key files to cause a 
denial of service or, in some cases, gain privileges by modifying 
executable files. The risk is mitigated because non-default 
configurations are primarily affected, and the user must be convinced 
to access the malicious server. However, web-based clients may be 
more easily exploited."
