CVE-2018-6359
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.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
