MDKSA-2005:153: gnumeric |

Check for the version of the gnumeric package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:153 (gnumeric). Integer overflow in pcre_compile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) before 6.2, as used in multiple products, permits attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. The gnumeric packages use a private copy of pcre code. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
