Updated ming packages for Debain 7 LTS



Package : ming
Version : 1:0.4.4-1.1+deb7u2
CVE ID : CVE-2017-7578

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.
