Process crash via invalid return-action name lookup
Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Denial of service in libming 0.4.8 allows attackers to crash SWF-processing applications via a crafted SWF file. During return-action decompilation, decompileRETURN passes an invalid value to getName, which reads address 0x10 in the zero page and aborts. The file must be processed by an application using the vulnerable decompiler; the demonstrated consequence is a process crash, not code execution.
