Package: gnumeric
Severity: important
Tags: security

Gnumeric embeds a copy of the PCRE regexp library, which is vulnerable
to an exploitable heap overflow. (CAN-2005-2491)
According to
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnumeric-list/2005-August/msg00073.html
upstream doubts that it's exploitable in Gnumeric, though.

Cheers,
