How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 file to version 0:5.11-31.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2015-2155.

NVD Description

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

The cdf_count_chain function in cdf.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.
