Detail

The update for freexl issued as DSA-3208-1 introduced a regression when handling certain Microsoft Excel spreadsheets files. Updated packages are now available to address this regression. For reference the original advisory text follows.

Jodie Cunningham discovered multiple vulnerabilities in freexl, a library to read Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, which might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed Excel file is opened.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0b-1+deb7u3.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0g-1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your freexl packages.
