+ file is a utility used to identify the type of a file. +

+
+ +

+ A possible stack overflow has been found in the ELF header parsing code + of file. +

+
+ +

+ An attacker may be able to create a specially crafted ELF file which, + when processed with file, may allow the execution of arbitrary code. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All file users should upgrade to the latest version: +
