Description Francisco Alonso 2014-05-15 12:14:49 UTC
A flaw was found in the way file parsed property information from Composite Document Files (CDF) files.  A property entry with 0 elements triggers an infinite loop.

The problem is in cdf_read_property_info() function in src/cdf.c:
https://github.com/file/file/blob/FILE5_18/src/cdf.c#L742

A for loop with counter i is used to loop through properties.  Inside it, nelements value is read from the input file.  For string type properties, there is additional nested for loop with counter j, which also increments counter i of the outer for loop.
https://github.com/file/file/blob/FILE5_18/src/cdf.c#L890

In cdf.c:

801	for (i = 0; i < sh.sh_properties; i++) {
..
814		if (inp[i].pi_type & CDF_VECTOR) {
815			nelements = CDF_GETUINT32(q, 1);
..
873		case CDF_LENGTH32_STRING:
874		case CDF_LENGTH32_WSTRING:
..
890			for (j = 0; j < nelements; j++, i++) {
..
905			}
906			i--;
