Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1764-01 - The wget package provides the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols. A flaw was found in the way Wget handled symbolic links. A malicious FTP server could allow Wget running in the mirror mode to write an arbitrary file to a location writable to by the user running Wget, possibly leading to code execution. Note: This update changes the default value of the --retr-symlinks option. The file symbolic links are now traversed by default and pointed-to files are retrieved rather than creating a symbolic link locally.
