The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200704-13 (File: Denial of Service)

Conor Edberg discovered an error in the way file processes a specific     regular expression.

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,     using excessive CPU ressources and possibly leading to a Denial of     Service. Note that this vulnerability could be also triggered through     an automatic file scanner like amavisd-new.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
