Descriptions

The cdf_unpack_summary_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) by triggering many file_printf calls.

La función cdf_unpack_summary_info en cdf.c en el componente Fileinfo en PHP anterior a 5.4.29 y 5.5.x anterior a 5.5.13 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (degradación de rendimiento) mediante la provocación de muchas llamadas file_printf.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the File Information (fileinfo) extension parsed certain Composite Document Format (CDF) files. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash a PHP application using fileinfo via a specially crafted CDF file.
