file: out-of-bounds read in elf note headers
Published Nov 5, 2014

MEDIUMCVSS 2.0
EPSS 14.01%
Description
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.
