+    <p>
+    Colin Percival from FreeBSD reported that the previous fix for the
+    file_printf() buffer overflow introduced a new integer overflow.

+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to run the file program on an
+    overly large file (more than 1Gb) that would trigger an integer
+    overflow on 32-bit systems, possibly leading to the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running file.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Since file is a system package, all Gentoo users should upgrade to the
+    latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/file-4.21"</code>
