    Description :
    The file command is used to identify a particular file according to the
    type of data contained by the file.  File can identify many different
    file types, including ELF binaries, system libraries, RPM packages, and
    different graphics formats.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2012-1571
    file before 5.11 and libmagic allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
    Composite Document File (CDF) file that triggers (1) an out-of-bounds read or (2) an invalid pointer
    dereference.
    CVE-2014-0237
    The cdf_unpack_summary_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x
    before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) by triggering
    many file_printf calls.
    CVE-2014-0238
    The cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x
    before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds memory
    access) via a vector that (1) has zero length or (2) is too long.
    CVE-2014-1943
    Fine Free file before 5.17 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite
    recursion, CPU consumption, and crash) via a crafted indirect offset value in the magic of a file.
    CVE-2014-2270
    softmagic.c in file before 5.17 and libmagic allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
    service (out-of-bounds memory access and crash) via crafted offsets in the softmagic of a PE executable.
    CVE-2014-3479
    The cdf_check_stream_offset function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in
    PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, relies on incorrect sector-size data, which allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted stream offset in a CDF file.
    CVE-2014-3480
    The cdf_count_chain function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before
    5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.
    Fixed bugs:
    This update contain a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
    Please see changelog for more information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
