Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following packages are affected:

wget
wget-devel

CVE-2010-2252
GNU Wget 1.12 and earlier uses a server-provided filename instead of
the original URL to determine the destination filename of a download,
which allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via
a 3xx redirect to a URL with a .wgetrc filename followed by a 3xx
redirect to a URL with a crafted filename, and possibly execute
arbitrary code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home
directory.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.
