Heap-based buffer overflow in the ms_escher_get_data function in plugins/excel/ms-escher.c in GNOME Office 
Gnumeric before 1.12.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted xls file 
with a crafted length value.


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
