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

+
+ +

+ Conor Edberg discovered an error in the way file processes a specific + regular expression. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, + using excessive CPU ressources and possibly leading to a Denial of + Service. Note that this vulnerability could be also triggered through + an automatic file scanner like amavisd-new. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

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

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-4.20-r1" +
