wget (1.13.4-3+deb7u2) stable-security; urgency=high

wget (1.13.4-3+deb7u2) stable-security; urgency=high

Subject: CVE-2014-4877: Arbitrary Symlink Access

Wget was susceptible to a symlink attack which could create arbitrary files, directories or symbolic links and set their permissions when retrieving a directory recursively through FTP. This commit changes the default settings in Wget such that Wget no longer creates local symbolic links, but rather traverses them and retrieves the pointed-to file in such a retrieval.

The old behaviour can be attained by passing the --retr-symlinks=no option to the Wget invocation command.
