Descriptions

HTMLDOC before 1.9.19 has an out-of-bounds write in parse_paragraph in ps-pdf.cxx because of an attempt to strip leading whitespace from a whitespace-only node.

HTMLDOC anterior a 1.9.19 tiene una escritura fuera de los lĂ­mites en parse_paragraph en ps-pdf.cxx debido a un intento de eliminar los espacios iniciales de un nodo que solo contiene espacios en blanco.

It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the image_set_mask, git_read_lzw, write_header and write_node functions, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the gif_get_code function, which could lead to a segmentation fault. If a user or application were tricked into opening a crafted GIF file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
