Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0151-01 - The wget package provides the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols. Wget provides various useful features, such as the ability to work in the background while the user is logged out, recursive retrieval of directories, file name wildcard matching or updating files in dependency on file timestamp comparison. It was discovered that wget used a file name provided by the server when saving a downloaded file. This could cause wget to create a file with a different name than expected, possibly allowing the server to execute arbitrary code on the client.

If a user or automated system were tricked into downloading a file from a malicious site, a remote attacker could create the file with an arbitrary name (e.g. .wgetrc), and possibly run arbitrary code.
