Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-50-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'file' package(s) announced via the DLA-50-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'file' package(s) announced via the DLA-50-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: CVE-2014-3538 file 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). CVE-2014-3587 Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash). Note: The other seven issues for wheezy, fixed in 5.11-2+deb7u4 (DSA-3021-1), were already handled in 5.04-5+squeeze6 (DLA 27-1) in July 2014. Also, as an amendment, as a side effect of the changes done back then, the MIME type detection of some files had improved from 'application/octet-stream' to something more specific like 'application/x-dosexec' or 'application/x-iso9660-image'. For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in file version 5.04-5+squeeze7 Affected Software/OS: 'file' package(s) on Debian 6. 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
