SuSE-SA:2003:032 mentions the following in the "Pending vulnerabilities" section:
- wget   
    When handling long URLs, a buffer underrun may occur in the wget program. This underrun may be exploitable remotely. The update packages are available now on our ftp servers.

I don't know if this applies to PLD as well.
