NVD Description

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

The cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds memory access) via a vector that (1) has zero length or (2) is too long.
