Micah, the previous wget maintainer who is still active on the bug-wget
list, has commented on the issue:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2010-05/msg00031.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2010-05/msg00033.html
It sounds like he does not mind a fix like Florian's patch getting
included upstream. We'll see what the current maintainers say.
In another bug-wget posting, I described an attack that does not involve
a Unix user's home directory and a dot-file:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2010-05/msg00032.html
It works against wget of a file into a website "document root" tree and
it may take advantage of index.html taking precedence over index.php.
