 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-07
(file: Arbitrary code execution)


    A possible stack overflow has been found in the ELF header parsing
    code of file.
  
Impact

    An attacker may be able to create a specially crafted ELF file
    which, when processed with file, may allow the execution of arbitrary
    code.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution: 
    All file users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-4.12"
  

Risk factor : Medium
