*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

As reported in #1437087, this fix for that issue caused a regression as
discussed on the debian-gis list:

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/11/msg00013.html

In Debian this has been fixed for jessie in freexl (1.0.0g-1+deb8u3) and
wheezy in freexl (1.0.0b-1+deb7u3) with [DSA 3208-2] freexl regression
update (https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-
announce/2015/msg00302.html).

Ubuntu needs the same regression fix for trusty & vivid.

I've prepared updates for the Ubuntu packages in git:

 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/freexl.git/?h=ubuntu/trusty
 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/freexl.git/?h=ubuntu/vivid

Besides the fix for the regression introduced by afl-
vulnerabilitities.patch, they also contain 32bit-multiplication-
overflow.patch that was included in freexl (1.0.0g-1+deb8u2) for jessie-
security and freexl (1.0.0b-1+deb7u2) for wheezy-security. 32bit-
multiplication-overflow.patch was backported from FreeXL 1.0.2 and
already included in wily & xenial.

** Affects: freexl (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
