CVE-2022-44232Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Application crash via malformed SWF decompilation

Published Apr 26, 2023 · Updated Feb 3, 2025

Buffer overflow in libming 0.4.8 allows remote attackers to crash applications by supplying crafted SWF content for decompilation. Published evidence identifies the getInt helper in util/decompile.c and an unknown SWF action type, but not the precise overflowing operation. Reachability requires an application to pass attacker-controlled SWF content to the affected library; the documented consequence is a crash, not data disclosure or modification.
