Process crash via invalid GETMEMBER name read
Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
NULL-pointer dereference in libming 0.4.8 allows attackers to crash SWF decompilation by supplying a crafted SWF file. While handling a malformed GETMEMBER action, decompileGETMEMBER calls getName, which reads an invalid zero-page address instead of rejecting the value. Processing the file with an affected libming utility is required; successful exploitation aborts that process without reported data disclosure or code execution.
