Descriptions

The cdf_count_chain function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.

La función cdf_count_chain function en cdf.c en file anterior a 5.19, utilizado en el componente Fileinfo en PHP anterior a 5.4.30 y 5.5.x anterior a 5.5.14, no valida debidamente datos de la cuenta de sectores, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un fichero CDF manipulado.

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.
