Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'man2html' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2025-0097 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'man2html' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2025-0097 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: In man2html 1.6g, a specific string being read in from a file will overwrite the size parameter in the top chunk of the heap. This at least causes the program to segmentation abort if the heap size parameter isn't aligned correctly. In versions before GLIBC version 2.29 and if aligned correctly, it allows arbitrary writes anywhere in the program's memory. Affected Software/OS: 'man2html' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
