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:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Fine Free file before 5.17 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, CPU consumption, and crash) via a crafted indirect offset value in the magic of a file.
