CVE-2014-3480 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The cdf_count_chain function in cdf.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, does not properly validate sector-count data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF file.. EPSS estimates a 11.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
