Description Pedro Sampaio 2019-04-03 15:20:02 UTC
A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GNU Wget 1.20.1 and earlier. An attacker may be able to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or may execute an arbitrary code.

Comment 6 Marian Rehak 2019-04-09 06:57:23 UTC
The new buffer overflow bug fixed upstream in versions 1.20.2 and 1.20.3

Comment 8 Stefan Cornelius 2019-04-25 13:11:11 UTC
The vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow within the "do_conversion()" function in src/iri.c when processing Internationalized Resource Identifiers. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a crash and, potentially, execute arbitrary code by, for example, tricking a user into recursively downloading a specially crafted website.

Upstream announced a fix for this issue as part of version 1.20.2. However, this version did not actually contain the necessary code changes, thus leaving version 1.20.2 vulnerable. Version 1.20.3 fixed this.
