Arbitrary Symlink Access

Bonjour
Après avoir fait un upgrade, voici ce qu’on me retourne, et que mon anglais ne suffit pas à comprendre.

Subject: CVE-2014-4877: Arbitrary Symlink Access

Wget was susceptible to a symlink attack which could create arbitrary
files, directories or symbolic links and set their permissions when
retrieving a directory recursively through FTP. This commit changes the
default settings in Wget such that Wget no longer creates local symbolic
links, but rather traverses them and retrieves the pointed-to file in
such a retrieval.

The old behaviour can be attained by passing the --retr-symlinks=no
option to the Wget invokation command.
