The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project ID CVE-2014-1943 has been assigned to identify this flaw. Additionally, other well-crafted files might result in long computation times (while using 100% CPU) and overlong results. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.04-5+squeeze3. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 5.11-2+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.

This update fixes that regression. For reference the original advisory text follows. 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. Note that after this update, file may return different detection results for CDF files (well-formed or not). The new detections are believed to be more accurate. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.04-5+squeeze2. We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.
