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.

HTMLDOC vulnerabilities
It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the image_set_mask, git_read_lzw, write_header and write_node functions, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-0137, CVE-2022-24191, CVE-2022-34033, CVE-2022-34035)
It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the gif_get_code function, which could lead to a segmentation fault. If a user or application were tricked into opening a crafted GIF file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-0534)
It was discovered that HTMLDOC did not perform proper bounds checks on image dimensions when loading JPEG images, which could lead to a buffer overflow. If a user or application were tricked into opening a crafted JPEG image, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-27114)
It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the pdf_write_names function, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or application were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or leak sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-28085)
It was discovered that HTMLDOC could be made to write out of bounds when attempting to strip whitespace. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-45508)
It was discovered that HTMLDOC incorrectly handled memory in the parse_pre function, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or application were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-46478)
