</background>
<description>
<p>
A possible stack overflow has been found in the ELF header parsing code
of file.

<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker may be able to create a specially crafted ELF file which,
when processed with file, may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/file-4.12"</code>
</resolution>
