NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file package and not the file package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the "file" program 4.20, when running on 32-bit systems, as used in products including The Sleuth Kit, might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large file that triggers an overflow that bypasses an assert() statement. NOTE: this issue is due to an incorrect patch for CVE-2007-1536.
