Debian DLA-2026-1 : htmldoc security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 131837

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In HTMLDOC, there was a one-byte underflow in htmldoc/ps-pdf.cxx caused by a floating point math difference between GCC and Clang.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in htmldoc version 1.8.27-8+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your htmldoc packages. This upload was prepared by Utkarsh Gupta <[email protected]>.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected htmldoc, and htmldoc-common packages.
