The Gnumeric spreadsheet is a versatile application developed as
|
|
part of the GNOME Office project. libpcre is a library providing
|
|
functions for Perl-compatible regular expressions.
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Gnumeric contains a private copy of libpcre which is subject to an
|
|
integer overflow leading to a heap overflow (see GLSA 200508-17).
|
|
</p>
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by
|
|
tricking a user into opening a specially crafted spreadsheet, which
|
|
could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of
|
|
the user running Gnumeric.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Gnumeric users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/gnumeric-1.4.3-r2"</code>
