How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wget to version 1.16-1 or higher.

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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
