An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-3478 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Php Php. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-3478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3478/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-3478","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-3478","GHSA-h772-f5rg-qrvv","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-3478"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"File magic library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted Pascal string in the file library's mconvert function, affecting PHP Fileinfo users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"file","vendor":"christos_zoulas"},{"product":"php","vendor":"php"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in the mconvert function in softmagic.c in file before 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Pascal string in a FILE_PSTRING conversion.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"php:php","products":["php:php"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":20,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3477"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-07-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-11-10"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1515","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-04"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0207","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-09"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1571","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-07-17"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3538","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-03"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7345","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via a crafted Pascal string in the file library's mconvert function, affecting PHP Fileinfo users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3478/"}
