Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The readString function in util/read.c and util/old/read.c in libming 0.4.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large file that is mishandled by listswf, listaction, etc. This occurs because of an integer overflow that leads to a memory allocation error.
