An issue was discovered in libming swftophp version 0.4.8 that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the stackVal function in util/decompile.c. The vulnerability was disclosed in March 2023 and affects the decompilation functionality of the software (Github Issue).
The vulnerability is caused by an invalid memory read in the stackVal function located at decompile.c:1238. When processing certain SWF files, the function attempts to read from an invalid memory address (0x601fffffffb0), which triggers a segmentation fault. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicating local access is required and the primary impact is on availability (NVD).
The vulnerability affects the availability of systems using libming's swftophp utility. When exploited, it causes a denial of service condition through application crash. The impact is limited to the local system where the vulnerable software is running (NVD).
