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.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 19.9%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
