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.

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.
