TITLE:
HTMLDOC "set_page_size()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35780

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35780/

DESCRIPTION:
ANTHRAX666 has discovered a vulnerability in HTMLDOC, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unsafe call to "sscanf()" in
the "set_page_size()" function in htmldoc/util.cxx. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when an HTML
document containing e.g. a specially crafted "MEDIA SIZE" comment is
being processed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.8.27. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not process HTML files from untrusted sources.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
