Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0030)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0030 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'file' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0030 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated file packages fix security vulnerabilities: Alexander Cherepanov reported that using the file command on a specially-crafted ELF binary could lead to a denial of service due to uncontrolled resource consumption while processing ELF section headers (CVE-2014-9620, CVE-2014-9621). As part of the fixes, several limits on aspects of the detection were added or tightened, sometimes resulting in messages like 'recursion limit exceeded' or 'too many program header sections'. To mitigate such shortcomings, these limits are controllable by a new -P, --parameter option in the file program. Affected Software/OS: 'file' package(s) on 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
