CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 php-mysql to version 0:5.4.16-23.el7_0 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:1013.

NVD Description

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

The cdf_read_property_info function 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 a stream offset, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.
