CVE-2003-0102  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 file to version 3.40-1.1 or higher.

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.

Buffer overflow in tryelf() in readelf.c of the file command allows attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user running file, possibly via a large entity size value in an ELF header (elfhdr.e_shentsize).
