new release: FreeXL 1.0.5 (security fix)

[Alessandro Furieri]

Hi list,

few more vulnerabilities affecting FreeXL have been recently 

discovered; for more details please check Red Hat Bugzilla

Bug 1547879

all reported vulnerabilities are never expected to be encountered 

when reading valid XLS files, and can only affect purposely crafted 

files intended to maliciously trigger some nasty security breach.

the new patched version (FreeXL-1.0.5) sanes any known security

issue.

developers and system packagers are warmly invited to quickly

adopt FreeXL-1.0.5

note

========

a new error code (FREEXL_CRAFTED_FILE) has been added to FreeXL,

and it will be returned when a supposed XLS document contains

"impossible values" (not compatible with the XLS specifications),

thus leading to a legitimate suspect of a purposely crafted file.
