When SWFTools 0.9.2 processes a crafted file in swfextract, it can lead to a NULL Pointer Dereference in the swf_FoldSprite() function in lib/rxfswf.c.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
