Updated ming packages fix security vulnerabilities
The readString function in util/read.c and util/old/read.c in libming 0.4.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large file that is mishandled by listswf, listaction, etc. This occurs because of an integer overflow that leads to a memory allocation error. (CVE-2017-8782)
The readEncUInt30 function in util/read.c in libming 0.4.8 mishandles memory allocation. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) attack against parser.c. (CVE-2017-9988)
util/outputtxt.c in libming 0.4.8 mishandles memory allocation. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) attack. (CVE-2017-9989)
A heap-based buffer over-read was found in the function decompileIF in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11704)
A heap-based buffer over-read was found in the function OpCode (called from decompileSETMEMBER) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11728)
A heap-based buffer over-read was found in the function OpCode (called from decompileINCR_DECR line 1440) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11729)
A heap-based buffer over-read was found in the function OpCode (called from decompileINCR_DECR line 1474) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11730)
An invalid memory read vulnerability was found in the function OpCode (called from isLogicalOp and decompileIF) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11731)
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the function dcputs (called from decompileIMPLEMENTS) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11732)
A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the function stackswap (called from decompileSTACKSWAP) in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11733)
A heap-based buffer over-read was found in the function decompileCALLFUNCTION in util/decompile.c in Ming 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-11734)
The outputSWF_TEXT_RECORD function in util/outputscript.c in libming <= 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file. (CVE-2017-16883)
The printMP3Headers function in util/listmp3.c in libming v0.4.8 or earlier is vulnerable to a global buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-9264. (CVE-2017-16898)
In libming 0.4.8, there is an integer signedness error vulnerability (left shift of a negative value) in the readSBits function (util/read.c). Remote attackers can leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file. (CVE-2018-5251)
In libming 0.4.8, there is an integer overflow (caused by an out-of-range left shift) in the readUInt32 function (util/read.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted swf file. (CVE-2018-5294)
The outputSWF_TEXT_RECORD function (util/outputscript.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to an integer overflow and resultant out-of-bounds read, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted SWF file. (CVE-2018-6315)
The decompileIF function (util/decompile.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a use-after-free, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted SWF file. (CVE-2018-6359)
