CVE-2014-4877
|
| Summary | Absolute path traversal vulnerability in GNU Wget before 1.16, when recursion is enabled, allows remote FTP servers to write to arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a LIST response that references the same filename within two entries, one of which indicates that the filename is for a symlink. |

| Description | This module exploits a vulnerability in Wget when used in recursive (-r) mode with a FTP server as a destination. A symlink is used to allow arbitrary writes to the target's filesystem. To specify content for the file, use the "file:/path" syntax for the TARGET_DATA option. Tested successfully with wget 1.14. Versions prior to 1.16 are presumed vulnerable. |
