+  <title>HTMLDOC: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple insecure calls to the sscanf() function in HTMLDOC might result in
+    the execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    ANTHRAX666 reported an insecure call to the sscanf() function in the
+    set_page_size() function in htmldoc/util.cxx. Nico Golde of the Debian
+    Security Team found two more insecure calls in the write_type1()
+    function in htmldoc/ps-pdf.cxx and the htmlLoadFontWidths() function in
+    htmldoc/htmllib.cxx.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
+    HTML file using htmldoc, possibly resulting in the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+    NOTE: Additional vectors via specially crafted AFM font metric files do
+    not cross trust boundaries, as the files can only be modified by
+    privileged users.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All HTMLDOC users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/htmldoc-1.8.27-r1&quot;</code>
