Updated wget packages are available for Mandriva Linux

Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: wget
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:098
Date: June 9th, 2005

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Two vulnerabilities were found in wget. The first is that an HTTP redirect statement could be used to do a directory traversal and write to files outside of the current directory. The second is that HTTP redirect statements could be used to overwrite dot ('.') files, potentially overwriting the user's configuration files (such as .bashrc, etc.).

The updated packages have been patched to help address these problems by replacing dangerous directories and filenames containing the dot ('.') character with an underscore ('_') character.
