Shouldn't this be reported upstream to fileinfo maintainers? 

Also, a backtrace from a binary compiled with debug information (line numbers, filenames, etc.) would be helpful.

Steps to reproduce:

1) get php 5.6.1 from:
http://de1.php.net/get/php-5.6.1.tar.gz/from/this/mirror

2) tar -xzvf php-5.6.1.tar.gz

3) cd php-5.6.1

4) ./configure 'CFLAGS=-fsanitize=address '-O2' '-ggdb'' 'LDFLAGS=-fsanitize=address'

5) make

6) make test

7) make install

8) gdb /data/home/secalert/research/php-5.6.1/sapi/cli/php

9) (gdb) run /data/home/secalert/research/php-5.6.1/ext/fileinfo/tests/finfo_file_002.phpt

Shouldn't this be reported upstream to fileinfo maintainers? 

answer: I hope this is the correct package now.
 [2014-10-15 11:15 UTC] tyrael@php.net 
I think that Stas was referring to the authors of libmagic/file by upstream, they are the original authors of the readcdf.c file which seem to have the issue.
as we distribute this file we also have to fix it, but would be nice if upstream is also notified.
 [2014-10-15 15:00 UTC] david dot kurz at majorsecurity dot com 
I got it. I have reported this issue to the file/libmagic maintainers also. It's bug 0000389 on their bugtracker. http://bugs.gw.com
 [2014-10-16 06:27 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
As we bundle and patch it, having such issue reported in both projects is good tho' Thanks for your efforts :)

This has been fixed in readcdf-1.43. The current version in file-5.20 is readcdf-1.48. The problem is that the arrays clsid2mime and clsid2desc are not NULL terminated.
