Package : gnumeric
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0668
Thilo Pfennig and Morten Welinder discovered several integer overflow
weaknesses in Gnumeric, a GNOME spreadsheet application. These
vulnerabilities could result in the execution of arbitrary code
through the opening of a maliciously crafted Excel spreadsheet.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.3-5+etch1.
For the unstable (sid) distribution, these problems were fixed in
version 1.8.1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnumeric packages.
