(GOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    GOffice includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer
    overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted documents
    with GOffice, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive information.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
