CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 5.4.30 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The cdf_count_chain 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, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.
