1. Summary:

An update for wget is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) - x86_64

3. Description:

The wget packages provide the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for HTTP,
HTTPS, and FTP protocols.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that wget used a file name provided by the server for the
downloaded file when following an HTTP redirect to a FTP server resource.
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.
(CVE-2016-4971)

Red Hat would like to thank GNU wget project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Dawid Golunski as the original reporter.
