The dumpBuffer function in read.c in the listswf tool in libming 0.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted SWF file.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The dumpBuffer function in read.c in the listswf tool in libming 0.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted SWF file. (CVE-2016-9828)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
