Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0252)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0252 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0252 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated file packages fix security vulnerabilities: A flaw was found in the way file's Composite Document Files (CDF) format parser handle CDF files with many summary info entries. The cdf_unpack_summary_info() function unnecessarily repeatedly read the info from the same offset. This led to many file_printf() calls in cdf_file_property_info(), which caused file to use an excessive amount of CPU time when parsing a specially-crafted CDF file (CVE-2014-0237). A flaw was found in the way file parsed property information from Composite Document Files (CDF) files. A property entry with 0 elements triggers an infinite loop (CVE-2014-0238). Affected Software/OS: 'file' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
