[slackware-security] wget

New wget packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
and -current to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/wget-1.18-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This version fixes a security vulnerability present in all old versions
of wget. On a server redirect from HTTP to a FTP resource, wget would
trust the HTTP server and use the name in the redirected URL as the
destination filename. This behaviour was changed and now it works
similarly as a redirect from HTTP to another HTTP resource so the original
name is used as the destination file. To keep the previous behaviour the
user must provide --trust-server-names.
The vulnerability was discovered by Dawid Golunski and was reported by
Beyond Security’s SecuriTeam.

(* Security fix *)
