CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2014:1764 Moderate

Note to CentOS 5 users. RedHat does not plan to release a fixed wget for EL5. You can mitigate this vulnerability by adding the following line to the bottom of /etc/wgetrc: retr-symlinks=on
Doing so will basically accomplish exactly the same thing that this update does.

Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated. I'll just post a link relevant to this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1139181#c17
I was a bit surprised to learn that security updates labelled 'moderate' are no longer published for EL5.
