FKIE_CVE-2018-9165

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-04-01 18:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 02:06
Severity
6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
The pushdup function in util/decompile.c in libming through 0.4.8 does not recognize the need for ActionPushDuplicate to perform a deep copy when a String is at the top of the stack, making the library vulnerable to a util/decompile.c getName NULL pointer dereference, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted SWF file.
