It seems this flaw was fixed in their git repository in 2010 :
<A HREF="http://wiki.swftools.org/viewgit/?a=commit&amp;p=swftools-git%20&amp;h=5a4a20931aade60f0e99df0819fbd1c007a705da">http://wiki.swftools.org/viewgit/?a=commit&amp;p=swftools-git%20&amp;h=5a4a20931aade60f0e99df0819fbd1c007a705da</A>

They don't release new versions often, but still update their git
repository.
