Descriptions

The cdf_read_property_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 (infinite loop or out-of-bounds memory access) via a vector that (1) has zero length or (2) is too long.

La función cdf_read_property_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 (bucle infinito o acceso a memoria fuera de rango) a través de un vector que (1) tiene longitud cero o (2) es demasiado largo.

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.
