CVE-2015-8865 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 php55-php.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php55-php package and not the php55-php package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The file_check_mem function in funcs.c in file before 5.23, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.5.34, 5.6.x before 5.6.20, and 7.x before 7.0.5, mishandles continuation-level jumps, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted magic file.
