Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2014:051
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : file
Date : March 13, 2014
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated file package fixes security vulnerability:

It was discovered that file before 5.17 contains a flaw in the handling
of indirect magic rules in the libmagic library, which leads to an
infinite recursion when trying to determine the file type of certain
files (CVE-2014-1943).

Additionally, other well-crafted files might result in long computation
times (while using 100% CPU) and overlong results.

A flaw was found in the way the file utility determined the type of
Portable Executable (PE) format files, the executable format used on
Windows. A malicious PE file could cause the file utility to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-2270).

A memory leak in file has also been fixed.

The affected packages have been upgraded to the 5.12 version and
patched to correct these flaws.
