Heap overflow in pdf_write_contents()

Jorgecmartins opened this issue · 1 comments

In pdf_write_contents(), in ps-pdf.cxx, there is a heap buffer overflow:

2982    i = heading_pages[*heading];

In this case, the variable num_headings = 36 and *heading can be larger than num_headings, the array size.

I've attached poc.zip that can trigger the heap overflow.

Steps to reproduce

$ unzip poc.zip
$ # Compiling htmldoc with -fsanitize=address,bounds
$ htmldoc -f output.pdf poc
