CVE-2018-6315

Integer overflow and resultant out-of-bounds read in the outputSWF_TEXT_RECORD function (util/outputscript.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted SWF file.

CVE-2018-6359

Use-after-free vulnerability in the decompileIF function (util/decompile.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted SWF file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.4-1.1+deb7u7.
