Description Francisco Alonso 2014-05-15 13:06:42 UTC
A flaw was found in the way file's Composite Document Files (CDF) format parser handle CDF files with many summary info entries.  The cdf_unpack_summary_info() function unnecessarily repeatedly read the info from the same offset.  This led to many file_printf() calls in cdf_file_property_info(), which caused file to use an excessive amount of CPU time when parsing a specially-crafted CDF file.

Comment 8 Tomas Hoger 2014-06-02 07:09:42 UTC
Fixed in PHP 5.4.29 and 5.5.13.

Comment 9 Oliver Falk 2014-06-03 07:02:52 UTC
Doesn't this also affect php-5.3.3 as shipped in RHEL6 and php-5.1.6 as shipped in RHEL5, as well as php53-5.3.3 (EPEL5)? Are there separate bugs for RHEL?

Comment 10 Oliver Falk 2014-06-03 07:05:13 UTC
And... Do I understand this will also fix CVE-2014-0238 ?

Comment 11 Tomas Hoger 2014-06-03 08:45:23 UTC
PHP 5.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does not include fileinfo extension and hence does not embed file/libmagic.  Therefore, it is not affected.

In PHP use case, this issue is mitigated by PHP's maximum execution time limit:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

This issue is unrelated to CVE-2014-0238.
