Several issues have been found in htmldoc, an HTML processor that generates indexed HTML, PS, and PDF.

CVE-2022-0534

 A crafted GIF file could lead to a stack out-of-bounds read,
 which could result in a crash (segmentation fault).

 Converting an HTML document, which links to a crafted BMP file,
 could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which could result
 in remote code execution.

 cause a denial of service.
