-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2014:051 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : file Date : March 13, 2014 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated file package fixes security vulnerability: It was discovered that file before 5.17 contains a flaw in the handling of indirect magic rules in the libmagic library, which leads to an infinite recursion when trying to determine the file type of certain files (CVE-2014-1943). Additionally, other well-crafted files might result in long computation times (while using 100% CPU) and overlong results. A flaw was found in the way the file utility determined the type of Portable Executable (PE) format files, the executable format used on Windows. A malicious PE file could cause the file utility to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-2270). A memory leak in file has also been fixed. The affected packages have been upgraded to the 5.12 version and patched to correct these flaws. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-1943 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-2270 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0092.html http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0123.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: 5daf7e68d436107f087e08cbabd55a53 mbs1/x86_64/file-5.12-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm f59233880c730cd02d6e9c9bc2b50040 mbs1/x86_64/lib64magic1-5.12-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 9d5063b1d1e64d82df88ec926e26be58 mbs1/x86_64/lib64magic-devel-5.12-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 672916960ebde988649acb12fa9ff534 mbs1/x86_64/lib64magic-static-devel-5.12-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm f2a64add383b5d18ae6f0c29c2972a49 mbs1/x86_64/python-magic-5.12-1.mbs1.noarch.rpm a60928e3e2bc266079b8466bd9519eb0 mbs1/SRPMS/file-5.12-1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
