RHBA-2012:0560 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
wget bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated wget packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP, HTTPS or FTP
protocol. Wget provides various useful features, such as the ability to work in
the background while the user is logged out, recursive retrieval of directories,
file name wildcard matching or updating files in dependency on file timestamp
comparison.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The wget utility did not previously work as intended with the "-T, --timeout"
option set. As a consequence, if the HTTPS server accepted a wget session but
did not respond to the SSL handshake, the timeout could not take effect and Wget
did not terminate the session after a given time. With this update, the
underlying source code has been modified to ensure that Wget aborts the
connection in this scenario. (BZ#815418)
All users of wget are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
