USN-8838-1: catdoc vulnerabilities

Ubuntu • September 28, 2026

It was discovered that catdoc had an integer overflow when processing shared string tables in malformed spreadsheet files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause catdoc to crash or execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2024-48877 ) It was discovered that catdoc had an integer overflow when processing file allocation tables in malformed document files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause catdoc to crash or execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2024-52035 ) It was discovered that catdoc incorrectly validated sector sizes when processing malformed document files, leading to an integer underflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause catdoc to crash or execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2024-54028 )

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
