"Vulnerability Description
A vulnerability in the way wget handles redirects allows attackers that are 
able to hijack a connection initiated by wget or compromise a server from which 
wget is downloading files from, would allow them to cause the user running wget 
to execute arbitrary commands. The commands are executed with the privileges 
with which wget is running. This could prove to be quite severe when wget is 
launched as ‘root’.

Vulnerable Version

Wget version 1.17 and prior"
