Synopsis ========
A vulnerability 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.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 sys-apps/file < 5.21 >= 5.21
Description ===========
An issue with the ELF parser used by the file utility can cause a resource consumption when reading a specially-crafted ELF binary.
Impact ======
A context-dependent attacker may be able to 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-5.21"
References ==========
