Francisco Alonso discovered that file incorrectly handled certain ELF files. An attacker could use this issue to cause file to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3710)

Thomas Jarosch discovered that file incorrectly handled certain ELF files. An attacker could use this issue to cause file to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-8116)

Thomas Jarosch discovered that file incorrectly limited recursion. An attacker could use this issue to cause file to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-8117).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
