Description:
rPath has issued an update for file. This fixes a vulnerability and a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA24548
The security issue is caused due to certain regular expressions, which can consume all available CPU resources when identifying a specially crafted file. This can be exploited to cause a DoS by e.g. tricking an automated system into identifying a malicious file using the "file" command.
