Do you mind doing this, NicolasS? You have done quite a number of CVEs for this SRPM.

Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a crash when clicking the button "Generate" and a security vulnerability:

A stack-based buffer overflow in image_load_bmp() in HTMLDOC <= 1.9.13 results in remote code execution if the victim converts an HTML document linking to a crafted BMP file. (CVE-2021-43579)

Comment 3 Thomas Andrews 2022-01-22 16:02:54 CET 
Updated the packages using qarepo, with no installation issues.

Tested using some html files of "Grokking the Gimp" that were downloaded so long ago that I don't remember doing it.

Tried the gui first, launched from the Plasma Tools menu. The crash from the "generate" button, which I had observed before, is fixed.

Tried the "nogui" next, on another html page, and produced a pdf of that page that looks just like the html page when viewed in Firefox.

It all looks good to me. Validating. Advisory in Comment 2.
