  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that there was a header injection vulnerability in GNU
      Wget which allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via
      CRLF sequences in the host subcomponent of a URL.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could inject arbitrary HTTP headers in requests by
      tricking a user running GNU Wget into processing crafted URLs.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All GNU Wget users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/wget-1.19.1-r1"
    </code>
