Descriptions
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.
