RedHat maintainers recently discovered a potential security breach
caused by the current version of FreeXL.
This issue is not very like to happen under ordinary conditions, anyway
a purposely forged XLS document could effectively cause a multiplication
overflow on 32 bit platforms, and this in turn will subsequently cause a
dangerous crash due to an incorrectly sized memory allocation.
freexl-1.0.2 definitely fixes the issue.
