CVE-2014-0236
file before 5.18, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.6.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a zero root_storage value in a CDF file, related to cdf.c and readcdf.c.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.54%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
