"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2016-325:01 advisory.

    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-2014-3538
    file before 5.19 does not properly restrict the amount of data read
    during a regex search, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
    of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted file that triggers
    backtracking during processing of an awk rule.  NOTE: this
    vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-7345.
    CVE-2014-3587
    Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in
    file through 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before
    5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16, allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.  NOTE:
    this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
    CVE-2012-1571.
    CVE-2014-3710
    The donote function in readelf.c in file through 5.20, as used in the
    Fileinfo component in PHP 5.4.34, does not ensure that sufficient note
    headers are present, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
    of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted
    ELF file.
    CVE-2014-8116
    The ELF parser (readelf.c) in file before 5.21 allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a large
    number of (1) program or (2) section headers or (3) invalid
    capabilities.
    CVE-2014-8117
    softmagic.c in file before 5.21 does not properly limit recursion,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
    consumption or crash) via unspecified vectors.
    CVE-2014-9620
    The ELF parser in file 5.08 through 5.21 allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service via a large number of notes.
    CVE-2014-9653
    readelf.c in file before 5.22, as used in the Fileinfo component in
    PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, does
    not consider that pread calls sometimes read only a subset of the
    available data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (uninitialized memory access) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted ELF file.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
