This bug is about opening .xls files using Gutsy 7.10 with gnumeric 1.7.11.
Files opened using gnumeric-gtk only.
gnumeric updates to 1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1 fixed the original bug. According to the
changelog:
1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1
Published in gutsy-updates on 2008-04-22
Published in gutsy-security on 2008-04-21
gnumeric (1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1) gutsy-security; urgency=low
* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary code execution via integer overflow in
Excel spreadsheet HLINK processing.
* plugins/excel/ms-excel-read.c: backported upstream fixes thanks to
Debian, with an additional bugfix.
I am closing this bug as fix released per the above update. Thank you
for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.
@ Arnaud Blouin : Yes, I am able to open the file using Intrepid 8.10 with
gnumeric 1.8.3
as well as in Xubuntu 7.10 using gnumeric 1.7.11-1ubuntu3.1 .
** Changed in: gnumeric (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Fix Released
