The getString function in decompile.c in libming through 0.4.8 mishandles cases where the header indicates a file size greater than the actual size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation fault and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
