"It was discovered that there were multiple heap-based buffer overflows
in ming, a library to generate SWF (Flash) files.
The updated packages prevent a crash in the 'listswf' utility due to a
heap-based buffer overflow in the parseSWF_RGBA function and several
other functions in parser.c.
AddressSanitizer flagged them as invalid writes 'of size 1' but the
heap could be written to multiple times. The overflows are caused by a
pointer behind the bounds of a statically allocated array of structs
of type SWF_GRADIENTRECORD.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in ming version
1:0.4.4-1.1+deb7u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your ming packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
