Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-399
Summary: 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.
Commit Message: - reduce recursion level from 20 to 10 and make a symbolic constant for it.
- pull out the guts of saving and restoring the output buffer into functions
  and take care not to overwrite the error message if an error happened.
