  • CVE-2014-3538
    file 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).
  • CVE-2014-3587
    Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in
    cdf.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash).

Note: The other seven issues for wheezy, fixed in 5.11-2+deb7u4
(DSA-3021-1), were already handled in 5.04-5+squeeze6 (DLA 27-1) in
July 2014. Also, as an amendment, as a side effect of the changes
done back then, the MIME type detection of some files had
improved from “application/octet-stream” to something more specific
like “application/x-dosexec” or “application/x-iso9660-image”.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in file version 5.04-5+squeeze7
