Debian DLA-3004-1 : htmldoc - LTS security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 161201

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3004 advisory.

 - There is a vulnerability in htmldoc 1.9.16. In image_load_jpeg function image.cxx when it calls malloc,'img->width' and 'img->height' they are large enough to cause an integer overflow. So, the malloc function may return a heap blosmaller than the expected size, and it will cause a buffer overflow/Address boundary error in the jpeg_read_scanlines function. (CVE-2022-27114)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the htmldoc packages.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.27-8+deb9u3.
