http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : wget
Date : December 4, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in wget:
GNU Wget before 1.12 does not properly handle a '\0' (NUL) character
in a domain name in the Common Name field of an X.509 certificate,
which allows man-in-the-middle remote attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL
servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification
Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408 (CVE-2009-3490).
This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.
Update:
Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
