Debian: DSA-4173-1: r-cran-readxl security update
Summary
Marcin Noga discovered multiple vulnerabilities in readxl, a GNU R
package to read Excel files (via the integrated libxls library), which
could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed
spreadsheet is processed.
For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.1.1-1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your r-cran-readxl packages.
For the detailed security status of r-cran-readxl please refer to
