CVE-2014-1943 – file: unrestricted recursion in handling of indirect type rules

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-1943

Fine Free file before 5.17 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, CPU consumption, and crash) via a crafted indirect offset value in the magic of a file. Fine Free File anterior a 5.17 permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto causar una denegación de servicio (recursión infinita, consumo de CPU y caída) a través de un valor manipulado de desplazamiento indirecto en el "magic" de un archivo. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the File Information (fileinfo) extension handled indirect rules. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a PHP application using fileinfo to crash or consume an excessive amount of CPU. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-03/msg00034.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-03/msg00037.html http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2014/001327.html http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2014/001330.html http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2014/001334.html http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2014/001337.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1765.html http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6443 http://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-2861 http:& • CWE-755: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •
