Detail

Synopsis

Vulnerabilities in file could allow a context-dependent attack to create a Denial of Service condition.

Background

The file utility attempts to identify a file’s format by scanning binary data for patterns.

Description

Multiple issues with the ELF parser used by the file utility have been detected and fixed.

Impact

A context-dependent attacker can cause Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All file users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-5.22"
