Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2422-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'file' package(s) announced via the DSA-2422-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'file' package(s) announced via the DSA-2422-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The file type identification tool, file, and its associated library, libmagic, do not properly process malformed files in the Composite Document File (CDF) format, leading to crashes.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.04-5+squeeze2.

We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'file' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
