CVE-2014-9426

php: denial of service in libmagic/apprentice.c

Published Dec 31, 2014 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS 2.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The apprentice_load function in libmagic/apprentice.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP through 5.6.4 attempts to perform a free operation on a stack-based character array, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. NOTE: this is disputed by the vendor because the standard erealloc behavior makes the free operation unreachable
