NVD Description

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

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.
