7.8 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Description

The gnu regular expression code in file 4.20 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted document with a large number of line feed characters, which is not well handled by OS/2 REXX regular expressions that use wildcards, as originally reported for AMaViS.

Affected configurations

• amavis virus scanner • gentoo file 4.20
