Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
GHSA-j2w7-387v-m2rq affects PhpSpreadsheet, an ODS reader issue where the number-rows-repeated attribute is not bounded, so a small crafted .ods file can make the reader create a very large number of cells. Affected versions are listed as below 1.30.7, from 2.0.0 to below 2.1.19, from 2.2.0 to below 2.4.8, from 3.3.0 to below 3.10.8, and from 4.0.0 to below 5.10.0. An attacker only needs an application to load a user-supplied .ods file, which can exhaust memory and cause a denial of service. Upgrade to 1.30.7, 2.1.19, 2.4.8, 3.10.8, or 5.10.0, depending on your branch.
