Detail

Thomas Jarosch discovered a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in file, a file type classification tool, which may result in denial of service if an ELF binary with a specially crafted .notes section is processed.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:5.30-1+deb9u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:5.32-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.
