CVE-2026-95125: libming heap buffer overflow in RECT parsing

CVE-2026-95125 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-08

libming is a library that processes SWF (Flash) files, commonly used by web servers and media players. A malformed or truncated SWF file can trigger a heap buffer overflow that crashes the application or potentially allows arbitrary code execution. An attacker could send a specially crafted SWF file to trigger this vulnerability when it is processed.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a heap buffer overflow (CWE-787) in the r_readc() function within src/blocks/fromswf.c that occurs during SWF RECT header parsing. The function writes bytes into a fixed 9-byte rect[] buffer indexed by rectlen without bounds checking; legitimate RECT structures can require up to 17 bytes, and truncated streams cause unbounded writes up to ~199 bytes past the buffer. An attacker supplies a crafted SWF file with a malformed RECT header to trigger the overflow, causing denial of service at minimum.
