CVE-2019-11040
This may lead to information disclosure or crash.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
When PHP EXIF extension is parsing EXIF information from an image, e.g. via exif_read_data() function, in PHP versions 7.1.x below 7.1.30, 7.2.x below 7.2.19 and 7.3.x below 7.3.6 it is possible to supply it with data what will cause it to read past the allocated buffer. This may lead to information disclosure or crash.
