CVE-2014-3710  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. 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.
