The file
program contains a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or create a denial-of-service condition.
file
is a program for Unix-like operating systems that is used to determine what type of data is contained in a file.
file
contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that is caused by an integer overflow in the file_printf
function. To trigger the overflow, an attacker would need to convince a user to run a vulnerable version of file
on a specially crafted file.
An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the vulnerable version of file or cause the program to crash, creating a denial-of-service condition
Upgrade
Version 4.20 of file was released to address this issue. Note that operating systems may ship with different versions of the file
program. See the systems affected portion of this document for information about specific vendors.
