Package: wget Version: 1.12-1.1 Severity: normal i seem to have stumbled across a segmentation fault in wget. If the server omits the numeric HTTP response code in its reply, wget will crash with a segfault. You can try it:
printf "HTTP/1.0 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n" | nc -l 1234 >/dev/null & wget http://localhost:1234/ This also works without the Content-Type header. While this server is clearly not returning valid HTTP, wget should probably be better behaved than to segfault. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wget depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.5.5 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7 SSL shared libraries wget recommends no packages. wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
