How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 php54-php-tidy.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php54-php-tidy package and not the php54-php-tidy package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mcopy function in softmagic.c in file 5.x, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.40, 5.5.x before 5.5.24, and 5.6.x before 5.6.8, does not properly restrict a certain offset value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted string that is mishandled by a "Python script text executable" rule.
