NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ming package and not the ming package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The decompileIF function (util/decompile.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a use-after-free, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted SWF file.
