Summary
Further the embedded version of "file" is vulnerable to CVE-2019-18218.
As it can not be exploited the same in php5 as in file, this issue is not
handled as an own CVE but just as a bug, that has been fixed here
(restrict the number of CDF_VECTOR elements to prevent a heap-based
buffer overflow (4-byte out-of-bounds write)).
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
5.6.40+dfsg-0+deb8u12.
We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
