Description David Walser 2014-01-13 22:13:51 CET
Fedora has issued advisories on January 2:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-January/126364.html
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-January/126366.html
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-January/126365.html

The issue appears to be fixed in versions:
gnome-chemistry-utils 0.14.5
gnumeric 1.12.9
goffice 0.10.9

So Cauldron would need an update for gnome-chemistry-utils, and Mageia 3 for all three of them.

Advisory:
========================

Updated gnome-chemistry-utils,gnumeric and goffice packages that fix one security issue

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ms_escher_get_data function in plugins/excel/ms-escher.c in GNOME Office Gnumeric before 1.12.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted xls file with a crafted length value. (CVE-2013-6836)

I'll have a look at it on i586.  Don't understand what the issues are, but I can check for regressions. I'll put a link to the web page with user manuals for the gnome-chemistry-utils components on a procedure page on the wiki.

Comment 6 Carolyn Rowse 2014-02-15 16:30:03 CET
I tried out Gnumeric and did a few basic things like formatting for currency,formulae for adding and multiplying groups of cells, merging and centering cells, inserting the current date and time, saving and opening.

I also tried various views in the periodic table viewer and entered some formulae in GChemCalc and viewed the results.

No regressions noticed after update.

Ill mark this as OK for 32-bit unless someone can come up with some more specific tests that need doing.
