CVE-2025-66877Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Process crash via unchecked decompiler buffer write

Published Dec 29, 2025 · Updated Dec 29, 2025

Heap-buffer overflow in libming 0.4.8 allows remote attackers to crash the swftophp utility with a crafted SWF file. During decompilation of deeply nested SWF actions, dcputchar writes output past the 40,960-byte heap buffer allocated by dcinit. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled SWF content to reach the decompiler; the demonstrated consequence is process termination, not code execution.
