Advisory Published
The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in
magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with
unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a
denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a
large amount of backtracking, as demonstrated via a file with many newline
characters (CVE-2013-7345).
