Descriptions

The mconvert function in softmagic.c in file before 5.21, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, does not properly handle a certain string-length field during a copy of a truncated version of a Pascal string, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and application crash) via a crafted file.

La función mconvert en softmagic.c en file anterior a 5.21, utilizado en el componente Fileinfo en PHP anterior a 5.4.37, 5.5.x anterior a 5.5.21, y 5.6.x anterior a 5.6.5, no maneja correctamente cierto campo de longitud de cadenas durante una copia de una versión trucada de una cadena Pascal, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de un fichero manipulado.

An ouf-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the file utility processed certain Pascal strings. A remote attacker could cause an application using the file utility (for example, PHP using the fileinfo module) to crash if it was used to identify the type of the attacker-supplied file.
