Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU32802

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2012-1571

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

file before 5.11 and libmagic allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Composite Document File (CDF) file that triggers (1) an out-of-bounds read or (2) an invalid pointer dereference.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages:

i686:
    file-devel-5.19-4.19.amzn1.i686
    file-libs-5.19-4.19.amzn1.i686
    file-static-5.19-4.19.amzn1.i686
    file-debuginfo-5.19-4.19.amzn1.i686
    file-5.19-4.19.amzn1.i686

noarch:
    python-magic-5.19-4.19.amzn1.noarch

src:
    file-5.19-4.19.amzn1.src

x86_64:
    file-devel-5.19-4.19.amzn1.x86_64
    file-5.19-4.19.amzn1.x86_64
    file-static-5.19-4.19.amzn1.x86_64

2) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU3891

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3587

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in file through 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption via a crafted CDF fileand cause the service to crash.
