softmagic.c in file before 5.17 and libmagic allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and crash) via crafted offsets in the softmagic of a PE executable.
The cdfcountchain function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.

Accessibility. A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries.
docorenote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has an out-of-bounds read because memcpy is misused.
docorenote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has a stack-based buffer over-read, related to fileprintable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10360.
docorenote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
dobidnote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has a stack-based buffer over-read, related to fileprintf and filevprintf.
cdfreadpropertyinfo in cdf.c in file through 5.37 does not restrict the number of CDFVECTOR elements, which allows a heap-based buffer overflow (4-byte out-of-bounds write).
File is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read in the docorenote function in readelf.c in libmagic.a. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted ELF file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
The mconvert function in softmagic.c in file before 5.21, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, does not properly handle a certain string-length field during a copy of a truncated version of a Pascal string, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and application crash) via a crafted file.
The ELF parser (readelf.c) in file before 5.21 allows 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.
softmagic.c in file before 5.21 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via unspecified vectors.
The cdfcheckstreamoffset function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, relies on incorrect sector-size data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted stream offset in a CDF file.
The cdfreadpropertyinfo function in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, does not properly validate a stream offset, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.
An issue in file() was introduced in commit 9611f31313a93aa036389c5f3b15eea53510d4d1 (Oct 2016) lets an attacker overwrite a fixed 20 bytes stack buffer with a specially crafted .notes section in an ELF binary. This was fixed in commit 35c94dc6acc418f1ad7f6241a6680e5327495793 (Aug 2017).
