CVE-2014-9653

Published: 30 March 2015

readelf.c in file before 5.22, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, does not consider that pread calls sometimes read only a subset of the available data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.

Notes

AuthorNote
tyhicks
readelf.c not used in php5
readelf.c does not use pread() in Precise or Lucid but it looks like
short read()'s are still a problem

Priority

Low
