Descriptions
softmagic.c in file before 5.21 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via unspecified vectors.
softmagic.c en archivo anterior a 5.21 no limita adecuadamente el límite de recursividad, esto permite a atacantes remotos, provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU o rotura) mediante vectores no especificados.
A flaw was found in the way the File Information (fileinfo) extension parsed Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) files. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a PHP application using fileinfo to consume an excessive amount of system resources.
