Severity: Normal Title: Gnumeric: Heap overflow in the included PCRE library Date: September 03, 2005 Bugs: #104010 ID: 200509-02

Synopsis ========
Gnumeric is vulnerable to a heap overflow, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
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.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/gnumeric < 1.4.3-r2 >= 1.4.3-r2
Description ===========
Gnumeric contains a private copy of libpcre which is subject to an integer overflow leading to a heap overflow (see GLSA 200508-17).
Impact ======
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.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Gnumeric users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/gnumeric-1.4.3-r2"
