CVE-2019-11034: Heap over-read in PHP EXIF extension

When processing certain files, PHP EXIF extension in versions 7.1.x below 7.1.28, 7.2.x below 7.2.17 and 7.3.x below 7.3.4 can be caused to read past allocated buffer in exif_process_IFD_TAG function. This may lead to information disclosure or crash.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a PHP image-metadata parsing flaw. A specially crafted file processed by the PHP EXIF extension could make PHP read beyond an allocated memory buffer, potentially exposing small amounts of memory or crashing the process. Exposure is most likely where vulnerable PHP versions have the EXIF extension enabled and process untrusted uploaded images or files. Downstream Linux distributions and vendors published advisories, so packaged PHP deployments should be checked against vendor fixes. Treat this as a targeted maintenance issue, not an emergency. Prioritize internet-facing upload or media-processing applications, especially legacy PHP 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3 deployments. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PHP to 7.1.28, 7.2.17, 7.3.4, or later supported releases.; Apply relevant vendor security updates from your Linux distribution or appliance vendor.; Check vendor advisories for backported package versions that fix the issue..

Out-of-bounds Read

Out-of-bounds Read represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
