Summary0010264: wget 1.21.1 throws segmentation fault
DescriptionI do have a freshly installed system Rocky Linux 9.6 (Blue Onyx) with a
wget 1.21.1 and rkhunter 1.4.6 installed from repositories, glibc is
version 2.34.

Sometimes wget throws an error when called by rkhunter. (Unfortunately I
do have a German system so I just have the German messages)

It does not throw the error when used in other instances, at least I had
not seen it.

/bin/rkhunter: Zeile 7550: 397708 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug
geschrieben) /bin/wget -q -O "/var/lib/rkhunter/rkhunter.upd.Sec52siO9R"
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.4/programs_bad.dat 2> /dev/null

Translation by ChatGPT:

/bin/rkhunter: line 7550: 397708 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /bin/
wget -q -O "/var/lib/rkhunter/rkhunter.upd.Sec52siO9R" http://
rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.4/programs_bad.dat 2> /dev/null

So I have figured that the problem lies with wget.

Steps To ReproduceInstall rkhunter and wget, run rkhunter --update, sometimes it throws the error which is mentioned above.
One also may check with dmesg:

Additional InformationI wrote an E-Mail to bug-wget@gnu.org, Tim Ruehsen from Gnu Wget told me to upgrade to 1.25.0

Maybe you guys could upgrade wget as well in your repositories?
