GHSA-hcpv-8j4p-29jp PUBLISHED CVSS 7.300000190734863 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 17, 2022

** DISPUTED ** 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.
