Severity ?
7.6 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
A flaw was found in GNU Wget2. This vulnerability, a stack-based buffer overflow, occurs in the filename sanitization logic when processing attacker-controlled URL paths, particularly when filename restriction options are active. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted URL, which, upon user interaction with wget2, can lead to memory corruption. This can cause the application to crash and potentially allow for further malicious activities.

Esta vulnerabilidad, un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer basado en pila, ocurre en la l\u00f3gica de saneamiento de nombres de archivo al procesar rutas de URL controladas por el atacante, particularmente cuando las opciones de restricci\u00f3n de nombres de archivo est\u00e1n activas. Un atacante remoto puede explotar esto al proporcionar una URL especialmente dise\u00f1ada, lo que, tras la interacci\u00f3n del usuario con wget2, puede llevar a la corrupci\u00f3n de memoria. Esto puede causar que la aplicaci\u00f3n se bloquee y potencialmente permitir actividades maliciosas adicionales."
