Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0307)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0307 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0307 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: file before 5.19 does not properly restrict the amount of data read during a regex search, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted file that triggers backtracking during processing of an awk rule, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-7345 (CVE-2014-3538). The Mageia 3 update also fixes a possible crash in softmagic.c due to an improperly rediffed patch for a memory leak in a previous update (mga#13701). 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
