Descriptions

CRLF injection vulnerability in the url_parse function in url.c in Wget through 1.19.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via CRLF sequences in the host subcomponent of a URL.

Vulnerabilidad de inyección CRLF en la función url_parse en url.c en Wget hasta la versión 1.19.1 permite a atacantes remotos inyectar encabezados HTTP arbitrarios a través de secuencias CRLF en el subcomponente del host de una URL.

Antti Levomaki, Christian Jalio, and Joonas Pihlaja discovered that Wget incorrectly handled certain HTTP responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Wget to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Dawid Golunski discovered that Wget incorrectly handled recursive or mirroring mode. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended access list restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.
