Summary
Updated file packages fix CVE-2014-0237-8
Details

Updated file packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A flaw was found in the way file's Composite Document Files (CDF) format parser handle CDF files with many summary info entries. The cdfunpacksummaryinfo() function unnecessarily repeatedly read the info from the same offset. This led to many fileprintf() calls in cdffileproperty_info(), which caused file to use an excessive amount of CPU time when parsing a specially-crafted CDF file (CVE-2014-0237).

A flaw was found in the way file parsed property information from Composite Document Files (CDF) files. A property entry with 0 elements triggers an infinite loop (CVE-2014-0238).
