Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200710-19 - Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux reported an integer underflow in the file_printf() function of the file utility which is bundled with The Sleuth Kit (CVE-2007-1536, GLSA 200703-26). Note that Gentoo is not affected by the improper fix for this vulnerability (identified as CVE-2007-2799, see GLSA 200705-25) since version 4.20 of file was never shipped with The Sleuth Kit ebuilds. Versions less than 2.0.9 are affected.

Debian Security Advisory 1343-2 - The Debian 4.0r1 release contains a file package with the same version number as the last security update (4.17-5etch2), potentially overriding it. This security advisory reissues DSA-1343-1 with a higher version number, to ensure that its changes remain in effect. The changes from Debian 4.0r1 (which fix a minor denial of service issue, CVE-2007-2026) are included as well.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - The update to correct CVE-2007-1536 (MDKSA-2007:067), a buffer overflow in the file_printf() function, introduced a new integer overflow as reported by Colin Percival. This flaw, if an attacker could trick a user into running file on a specially crafted file, could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running file. As well, in file 4.20, flawed regular expressions to identify OS/2 REXX files could lead to a denial of service via CPU consumption.
