Descriptions

readelf.c in file before 5.22, 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 consider that pread calls sometimes read only a subset of the available data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.

readelf.c en file anterior a 5.22, 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 considera que las llamadas a pread a veces leen solamente un subjuego de los datos disponibles, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria no inicializada) o posiblemente tener otro impacto a través de un fichero ELF manipulado.

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 crash or disclose certain portions of server memory.
