This CVE was assigned to an incorrect boundary check in the cdf_read_short_sector() function. The issue was corrected as part of this upstream commit: https://github.com/file/file/commit/6d209c1c489457397a5763bca4b28e43aac90391#diff-0 The boundary check was added as part of the CVE-2012-1571 fix (see bug 805197). The CVE-2014-0207 is really an incomplete / insufficient CVE-2012-1571 fix CVE and hence does not affected file packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and php53 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and php packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, which did not get the incomplete fix applied. Future updates addressing CVE-2012-1571 will use complete fix.
