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.

Synopsis
The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
Updated file packages fix security vulnerabilities :
A flaw was found in the way file parsed property information from Composite Document Files (CDF) files, where the mconvert() function did not correctly compute the truncated pascal string size (CVE-2014-3478).
Multiple flaws were found in the way file parsed property information from Composite Document Files (CDF) files, due to insufficient boundary checks on buffers (CVE-2014-3479, CVE-2014-3480, CVE-2014-3487).
Note: these issues were announced as part of the upstream PHP 5.4.30 release, as PHP bundles file's libmagic library. Their announcement also references an issue in CDF file parsing, CVE-2014-0207, which was previously fixed in the file package in MGASA-2014-0252, but was not announced at that time.
Solution
Update the affected packages.
