Detail

Marcin Noga discovered multiple vulnerabilities in readxl, a GNU R package to read Excel files (via the integrated libxls library), which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed spreadsheet is processed.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.1.1-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your r-cran-readxl packages.

For the detailed security status of r-cran-readxl please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/r-cran-readxl
