Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ming version 0.4.8

Description A heap-based buffer overflow issue was found in the dcputs function, which is called from decompileIMPLEMENTS in util/decompile.c. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

Recommendations For Ming version 0.4.8, consider restricting access to the dcputs function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the decompileIMPLEMENTS function to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
