NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file package and not the file package as distributed by Debian.

The mget function in libmagic/softmagic.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP 5.4.x before 5.4.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) via an MP3 file that triggers incorrect MIME type detection during access to an finfo object.
