CVE-2017-11728

Heap-based buffer over-read in the function OpCode (called from decompileSETMEMBER) in util/decompile.c in Ming <= 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2017-11729

Heap-based buffer over-read in the function OpCode (called from decompileINCR_DECR line 1440) in util/decompile.c in Ming <= 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2017-11730
