CVE-2026-58471

MEDIUM

GNU Wget 1.25.0 Heap Buffer Overflow via convert_fname() in url.c

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

GNU Wget through 1.25.0, fixed in commit c2640fe, contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the convert_fname() function within src/url.c that allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption through a server-supplied filename requiring character set conversion. When the output buffer is too small during iconv E2BIG reallocation, the reallocation logic miscalculates the remaining space, leading to a heap buffer overflow that can be exploited via a maliciously crafted server response.
