Darshit Shah 18b0979357 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.
