Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'php54' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-333 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of backtracking, as demonstrated via a file with many newline characters.

Affected Software/OS:
'php54' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
