NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wget package and not the wget package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

wget 1.8.x and 1.9.x allows a remote malicious web server to overwrite certain files via a redirection URL containing a ".." that resolves to the IP address of the malicious server, which bypasses wget's filtering for ".." sequences.
