htmldoc: stack-based buffer overflow

Package(s):htmldoc CVE #(s):
Created:September 1, 2009 Updated:September 2, 2009
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla: A stack-based buffer overflow by processing user-supplied input was found in HTMLDOC's routine, used to set the result page output size for custom page sizes. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted HTML file, which once opened by an unsuspecting user, would lead to denial of service (htmldoc crash).
