* Multiple flaws were found in the file regular expression rules for
detecting various files. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause
file to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2014-3538)

Composite Document Format (CDF) files. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to crash file via a specially crafted CDF file. (CVE-2014-3587)

Format (ELF) files. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause file
to crash, disclose portions of its memory, or consume an excessive amount
of system resources. (CVE-2014-3710, CVE-2014-8116, CVE-2014-8117,
