Dear Security Team, FreeXL 1.0.2 was released yesterday, it fixes a recently discovered security issue. To quote the release announcement:
" RedHat maintainers recently discovered a potential security breach caused by the current version of FreeXL. This issue is not very like to happen under ordinary conditions, anyway a purposely forged XLS document could effectively cause a multiplication overflow on 32 bit platforms, and this in turn will subsequently cause a dangerous crash due to an incorrectly sized memory allocation. freexl-1.0.2 definitely fixes the issue. " https://groups.google.com/d/msg/spatialite-users/UZ7ivR6ASV0/K_8bjP1or_IJ I've uploaded freexl (1.0.2-1) to unstable today, and I've backported the fix to freexl (1.0.0g-1+deb8u2) and freexl (1.0.0b-1+deb7u2) for jessie & wheezy respectively. The changes are available in git: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/freexl.git/log/?h=jessie http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/freexl.git/log/?h=wheezy Are these OK to upload?
