From ${URL} : Description Two vulnerabilities have been reported in PHP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) An error within the "unpack_summary_info()" function (src/cdf.c) can be exploited to cause excessive CPU resources consumption via a specially crafted CDF file. 2) An error within the "cdf_read_property_info()" function (src/cdf.c) can be exploited to cause an infinite loop via a specially crafted CDF file with a property entry with 0 elements. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.4.29 and 5.5.13. Solution: Update to version 5.4.29 or 5.5.13. Provided and/or discovered by: Reported by the vendor. Original Advisory: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.4.29 http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.5.13 @maintainer(s): since the fixed package is already in the tree, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

CVE-2014-0238 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0238): The cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds memory access) via a vector that (1) has zero length or (2) is too long. CVE-2014-0237 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0237): The cdf_unpack_summary_info function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) by triggering many file_printf calls.
