libming: listmp3: global-buffer-overflow in printMP3Headers (listmp3.c)

Description:
libming is a Flash (SWF) output library. It can be used from PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, C, C++, Java, and probably more on the way..

A fuzzing revealed a global buffer overflow in listmp3. The bug does not reside in any shared object but if you have a web application that calls directly the listmp3 binary to parse untrusted mp3, then you are affected.

The complete ASan output:
