+ <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>
+ <p>
+ All file users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/file-4.12"</code>
