The\ncdf_unpack_summary_info() function unnecessarily repeatedly read the\ninfo from the same offset. This led to many file_printf() calls in\ncdf_file_property_info(), which caused file to use an excessive amount\nof CPU time when parsing a specially-crafted CDF file (CVE-2014-0237).\n\nA flaw was found in the way file parsed property information from\nComposite Document Files (CDF) files.
