Detail

Synopsis

A vulnerability in file could result in Denial of Service.

Background

file is a utility that guesses a file format by scanning binary data for patterns.

Description

BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions.

Impact

A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

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-5.15"
