Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2014-9621: The ELF parser in file allowed remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service via a long
    string. (bsc#913650)

  - CVE-2014-9620: The ELF parser in file allowed remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service via a large
    number of notes. (bsc#913651)

  - CVE-2014-9653: readelf.c in file did not consider that
    pread calls sometimes read only a subset of the
    available data, which allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (uninitialized memory access) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF
    file. (bsc#917152)

  - CVE-2014-8116: The ELF parser (readelf.c) in file
    allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (CPU consumption or crash) via a large number of (1)
    program or (2) section headers or (3) invalid
    capabilities. (bsc#910253)

  - CVE-2014-8117: softmagic.c in file did not properly
    limit recursion, which allowed remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via
    unspecified vectors. (bsc#910253)

Version update to file version 5.22

  - add indirect relative for TIFF/Exif

  - restructure elf note printing to avoid repeated messages

  - add note limit, suggested by Alexander Cherepanov

  - Bail out on partial pread()'s (Alexander Cherepanov)

  - Fix incorrect bounds check in file_printable (Alexander
    Cherepanov)

  - PR/405: ignore SIGPIPE from uncompress programs

  - change printable -> file_printable and use it in more
    places for safety

  - in ELF, instead of '(uses dynamic libraries)' when
    PT_INTERP is present print the interpreter name.

Version update to file version 5.21

  - there was an incorrect free in magic_load_buffers()

  - there was an out of bounds read for some pascal strings

  - there was a memory leak in magic lists

  - don't interpret strings printed from files using the
    current locale, convert them to ascii format first.

  - there was an out of bounds read in elf note reads

Update to file version 5.20

  - recognize encrypted CDF documents

  - add magic_load_buffers from Brooks Davis

  - add thumbs.db support

Additional non-security bug fixes :

  - Fixed a memory corruption during rpmbuild (bsc#1063269)

  - Backport of a fix for an increased printable string
    length as found in file 5.30 (bsc#996511)

  - file command throws 'Composite Document File V2
    Document, corrupt: Can't read SSAT' error against excel
    97/2003 file format. (bsc#1009966)
