Thilo Pfennig and Morten Welinder discovered that the XLS spreadsheet handling code in Gnumeric did not correctly calculate needed memory sizes. If a user or automated system were tricked into loading a specially crafted XLS document, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
