CWE-407  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 file to version 0:5.11-31.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file package and not the file package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The cdf_unpack_summary_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) by triggering many file_printf calls.
