How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 wget.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wget package and not the wget package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNU Wget does not validate the IP address provided by an FTP PASV response while operating in FTP passive mode. A malicious FTP server, or an HTTP server that redirects to an FTP URL, can exploit this behavior to redirect Wget’s data connection to an arbitrary IP address and port. This allows an attacker to forge server-side requests (SSRF) from the machine running Wget, potentially accessing localhost services or internal network resources.
