Buffer overflow in the set_page_size function in util.cxx in HTMLDOC

reported that there were additional vectors in htmllib.cxx and
ps-pdf.cxx using an AFM font file with a long glyph name, but these
vectors do not cross privilege boundaries (CVE-2009-3050).

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
