New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 3.6
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.
Description
The file type identification tool, file, and its associated library, libmagic, do not properly process malformed files in the Composite Document File (CDF) format, leading to crashes.
Note that after this update, file may return different detection results for CDF files (well-formed or not). The new detections are believed to be more accurate.
Solution
Upgrade the file packages.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.04-5+squeeze2.
