Patched Mageia 5 build added (just for the CVE):
wget-1.15-5.4.mga5

from wget-1.15-5.4.mga5.src.rpm

Debian has issued an advisory for this on May 8:
https://www.debian.org/security/2018/dsa-4195

Advisory:
========================

Updated wget package fixes security vulnerability:

Harry Sintonen discovered that wget does not properly handle '\r\n' from
continuation lines while parsing the Set-Cookie HTTP header. A malicious web
server could use this flaw to inject arbitrary cookies to the cookie jar file,
adding new or replacing existing cookie values (CVE-2018-0494).

The Mageia 6 package has been updated to version 1.19.5, which fixes this issue
as well as other possible security issues found by fuzzing.  The Mageia 5
package has been patched to fix CVE-2018-0494.

This reference from c3 provides a thorough explanation and PoC (which is far too heavy for us, involving setting up a special web server):

So just checking it still works.

Tried Len's example: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21947#c2
$ wget http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Read_Me_First.21
 The resulting local page is large & complete (if crudely formatted), but only the within-page links work - what you might expect with no wget qualifiers. Compare the original browsed directly.

More rigorous: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18671#c14
 $ mkdir Inkscape
 $ cd Inkscape
 $ wget -nH --cut-dirs=2 -r -k -p -np http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html
 -nH          No Header [tavmjong.free.fr/]
 --cut-dirs=2 Cuts the 2 leading directories [INKSCAPE/MANUAL/]
 -r           Recursive
 -k           Adjust all links for local (off-line) viewing
 -p           Load all Page requisites, pages are 'complete'
 -np          No Parent, do not ascend into parent directory, descend only
This creates 2 sub-directories: html, images. html/index.html is the entry point. Point a browser to it and browse the manual, here & there, especially near the end, to make sure it is all there, images included.
 $ cd ..
 $ rm -rf Inkscape
