ALAS-2014-333


Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2014-333
Advisory Release Date: 2014-04-25 16:04 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-18 00:32 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of backtracking, as demonstrated via a file with many newline characters.


Affected Packages:

php54


Issue Correction:
Run yum update php54 to update your system.
