Last modified

CVE-2019-18218 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. cdf_read_property_info in cdf.c in file through 5.37 does not restrict the number of CDF_VECTOR elements, which allows a heap-based buffer overflow (4-byte out-of-bounds write).. EPSS estimates a 1.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
