USN-439-1 fixed a vulnerability in file. The original fix did not
fully solve the problem. This update provides a more complete solution.
Original advisory details:
Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux discovered that βfileβ did not correctly
check the size of allocated heap memory. If a user were tricked into
examining a specially crafted file with the βfileβ utility, a remote
attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
