Description Martin Prpič 2015-03-30 10:14:04 UTC
The following flaws have been found in FreeXL, a library that parses Microsoft Excel spreadsheets:

#1: A flaw was found in the way FreeXL reads sectors from the input file. A specially crafted file could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:3752.

Reproducer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3htzndywvtmomlx/freexl_9f74b0e8?dl=0

#2: A flaw was found in the function allocate_cells(). A specially crafted file with invalid workbook dimensions could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:1074

Reproducer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcnbbntf7lp03yn/freexl_c9be2aa7?dl=0

#3: A flaw was found in the way FreeXL handles a premature EOF. A specially crafted input file could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:1131

Reproducer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/66srfory903w6cl/freexl_d7273f72?dl=0

#4: FreeXL 1.0.0g did not properly check requests for workbook memory allocation. A specially crafted input file could cause a Denial of Service, or possibly write onto the stack.
