The wget packages provide the GNU Wget file retrieval utility for
HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.
Security Fix(es) :
* It was found that wget used a file name provided by the server for
the downloaded file when following an HTTP redirect to a FTP server
resource. This could cause wget to create a file with a different name
than expected, possibly allowing the server to execute arbitrary code
on the client. (CVE-2016-4971)
