libming: listswf: heap-based buffer overflow in _iprintf (outputtxt.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 an overflow in listswf. The bug does not reside in any shared object but if you have a web application that calls directly the listswf binary to parse untrusted swf, then you are affected.

The complete ASan output:
