"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
