CVE-2004-1487 wget vulnerabilities
Title: wget vulnerabilities
Summary: wget vulnerabilities
Jan Minar discovered a path traversal vulnerability in wget. If the
name ".." was a valid host name (which can be achieved with a
malicious or poisoned domain name server), it was possible to trick
wget into creating downloaded files into arbitrary locations with
arbitrary names. For example, wget could silently overwrite the users
~/.bashrc and other configuration files which are executed
automatically. (CAN-2004-1487)
Jan Minar also discovered that wget printed HTTP response strings from
the server to the terminal without any filtering. Malicious HTTP
servers could exploit this to send arbitrary terminal sequences and
strings which would then be executed and printed to the console. This
could potentially lead to arbitrary code
