Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the bug report. This bug with negative values being sent to memset has already been reported and fixed. The fix is available in the current git tree at commit: 7099f48.

The patches will be available in the next release of Wget. Till then Arch Linux is free to cherry pick and apply the patch on their version of 1.17.1. Else, you could also use wget-git from the AUR which has these fixes and more.

Do let us know if there are any more issues you've encountered

A proposed patch by huntxu <mhuntxu AT gmail dot com>, his original comment is as follows:

The three lines [in the problematic commit] did not check if size of padding would be negative, and memset() therefore fails with a negative value.

Forgot to mention that this bug does not necessarily need CJK or multi-width character(s) to trigger, all it takes is a narrow terminal.

Just a recent discovery with folks at #archlinux-cn, that wget 1.17.1 would crash on this command.

wget '202.38.70.145:555/中文中文中文中文'

A case of address containing multi-width characters, wget would crash with SIGSEGV and dumps core. The program crashes on memset() in libc.so. I can provide a complete backtrace once requested.

A simple git bisect leads us to this commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/commit/?id=9933da2b9fdeddfc94859192438071bab7e467b2

Reverting this commit resolves the issue, just thought that this would help locating the problematic commit. There is also an issue with output file name encoding, with the same command above.

As you can see, the file name requested, "中文中文中文中文" is output'd to a completely different one, "中\346%96%87中\346%96%87中\346%96%87中\346%96%87". I will open up a separate bug report for this.
