    An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has three fixes is now available.

    Description:



    The GNU file utility was updated to version 5.22.

    Security issues fixed:

    - CVE-2014-9621: The ELF parser in file allowed remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service via a long string. (bsc#913650)
    - CVE-2014-9620: The ELF parser in file allowed remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service via a large number of notes. (bsc#913651)
    - CVE-2014-9653: readelf.c in file did not consider that pread calls
    sometimes read only a subset of the available data, which allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.
    (bsc#917152)
    - CVE-2014-8116: The ELF parser (readelf.c) in file allowed remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a
    large number of (1) program or (2) section headers or (3) invalid
    capabilities. (bsc#910253)
    - CVE-2014-8117: softmagic.c in file did not properly limit recursion,
    which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
    consumption or crash) via unspecified vectors. (bsc#910253)

    Version update to file version 5.22

    * add indirect relative for TIFF/Exif
    * restructure elf note printing to avoid repeated messages
    * add note limit, suggested by Alexander Cherepanov
    * Bail out on partial pread()'s (Alexander Cherepanov)
    * Fix incorrect bounds check in file_printable (Alexander Cherepanov)
    * PR/405: ignore SIGPIPE from uncompress programs
    * change printable -> file_printable and use it in more places for safety
    * in ELF, instead of "(uses dynamic libraries)" when PT_INTERP is present
    print the interpreter name.

    Version update to file version 5.21

    * there was an incorrect free in magic_load_buffers()
    * there was an out of bounds read for some pascal strings
    * there was a memory leak in magic lists
    * don't interpret strings printed from files using the current locale,
    convert them to ascii format first.
    * there was an out of bounds read in elf note reads

    Update to file version 5.20

    * recognize encrypted CDF documents
    * add magic_load_buffers from Brooks Davis
    * add thumbs.db support

    Additional non-security bug fixes:

    * Fixed a memory corruption during rpmbuild (bsc#1063269)
    * Backport of a fix for an increased printable string length as found in
    file 5.30 (bsc#996511)
    * file command throws "Composite Document File V2 Document, corrupt: Can't
    read SSAT" error against excel 97/2003 file format. (bsc#1009966)
