NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file package and not the file package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The cdf_check_stream_offset function in cdf.c 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, relies on incorrect sector-size data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted stream offset in a CDF file.
