+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.

+-Usually, when retrieving @sc{ftp} directories recursively and a symbolic
+-link is encountered, the linked-to file is not downloaded.  Instead, a
+-matching symbolic link is created on the local filesystem.  The
+-pointed-to file will not be downloaded unless this recursive retrieval
+-would have encountered it separately and downloaded it anyway.
+-
+-When @samp{--retr-symlinks} is specified, however, symbolic links are
+-traversed and the pointed-to files are retrieved.  At this time, this
+-option does not cause Wget to traverse symlinks to directories and
+-recurse through them, but in the future it should be enhanced to do
+-this.
++By default, when retrieving @sc{ftp} directories recursively and a symbolic link
++is encountered, the symbolic link is traversed and the pointed-to files are
++retrieved.  Currently, Wget does not traverse symbolic links to directories to
++download them recursively, though this feature may be added in the future.

++When @samp{--retr-symlinks=no} is specified, the linked-to file is not

++filesystem.  The pointed-to file will not be retrieved unless this recursive
++retrieval would have encountered it separately and downloaded it anyway.  This
++option poses a security risk where a malicious FTP Server may cause Wget to
++write to files outside of the intended directories through a specially crafted
++@sc{.listing} file.

+ Note that when retrieving a file (not a directory) because it was
