Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libmagic1 4.16-0ubuntu3.1

Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux discovered that "file" did not correctly
check the size of allocated heap memory. If a user were tricked into
examining a specially crafted file with the "file" utility, a remote
attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
