Package        : htget
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0852

"infamous41md" discovered a buffer overflow in htget, a file grabber
that will get files from HTTP servers.  It is possible to overflow a
buffer and execute arbitrary code by accessing a malicious URL.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.93-1.1woody1.

This package is not present in the testing and unstable distributions.

We recommend that you upgrade your htget package.
