CVE-2014-3710  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 php-gd to version 0:5.4.16-23.el7_0.3 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:1767.

NVD Description

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

The donote function in readelf.c in file through 5.20, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP 5.4.34, does not ensure that sufficient note headers are present, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
