CVE-2024-45508

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: HTMLDOC versions prior to 1.9.19

Description: The issue is related to an out-of-bounds write in the parse paragraph function in ps-pdf.cxx due to an attempt to strip leading whitespace from a whitespace-only node. This flaw can lead to a security risk.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.9.19, update to version 1.9.19 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the parse paragraph function in ps-pdf.cxx until a patch is available.
