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

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

|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<resolution>

<p>
|
|
All file users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-4.12"</code>
