3. Problem description:
The file command is used to identify a particular file according to the
type of data contained by the file.
The fix for CVE-2007-1536 introduced a new integer underflow flaw in the
file utility. An attacker could create a carefully crafted file which, if
examined by a victim using the file utility, could lead to arbitrary code
execution. (CVE-2007-2799)
This issue did not affect the version of the file utility distributed with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 or 3.
Users should upgrade to this erratum package, which contain a backported
patch to correct this issue.
4. Solution:
