Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix security vulnerabilities:

The printDefineFont2 function (util/listfdb.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted FDB file. (CVE-2018-6358)

There is a heap-based buffer overflow in the getString function of util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8 during a RegisterNumber sprintf. A Crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-7867)

There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the getName function of util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8 for CONSTANT8 data. A Crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-7868)

An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in getString in util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8 for CONSTANT16 data. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service. (CVE-2018-7870)

There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the getName function of util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8 for CONSTANT16 data. A crafted input will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2018-7871)

An invalid memory address dereference was discovered in the function getName in libming 0.4.8 for CONSTANT16 data. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service. (CVE-2018-7872)

There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the getString function of util/decompile.c in libming 0.4.8 for CONSTANT8 data. A Crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-7875)

The pushdup function in util/decompile.c in libming through 0.4.8 does not recognize the need for ActionPushDuplicate to perform a deep copy when a String is at the top of the stack, making the library vulnerable to a util/decompile.c getName NULL pointer dereference, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted SWF file. (CVE-2018-9165)

This all looks quite similar, so relying on Len's reputation, OK for me
