A vulnerability has been found in libming up to 0.4.8 (Programming Tool Software) and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function pushdup
of the file util/decompile.c of the component SWF File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
