CVE-2014-3710 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The donote function in readelf.c in file through 5.20, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP 5.4.34, does not ensure that sufficient note headers are present, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.. EPSS estimates a 13.76% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
