wget <= 1.10.2 | Unchecked Boundary Condition

A vulnerability in wget version 1.10.2 and earlier allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending a specially crafted FTP response. The vulnerability is due to an unchecked boundary condition when processing FTP responses. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted FTP response to a vulnerable wget instance. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability will cause the wget instance to crash.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of wget.
