Matthias Fischer e072f094e6 wget: Update to 1.18 ...

Excerpt from annoncement:

"This version fixes a security vulnerability (CVE-2016-4971) present in
all old versions of wget.  The vulnerability was discovered by Dawid
Golunski which were reported to us by Beyond Security's SecuriTeam.

On a server redirect from HTTP to a FTP resource, wget would trust the
HTTP server and uses the name in the redirected URL as the destination
filename.
This behaviour was changed and now it works similarly as a redirect from
HTTP to another HTTP resource so the original name is used as
the destination file.  To keep the previous behaviour the user must
provide --trust-server-names."

Best,
