Mandrake A security vulnerability has been identified and fixed in file: Heap-based buffer overflow in the cdf_read_sat function in src/cdf.c in Christos Zoulas file 5.00 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted compound document file, as demonstrated by a .msi, .doc, or .mpp file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2009-1515). This update provides file-5.03, which is not vulnerable to this, and other unspecified issues.
