SIGSEGV in xls2csv.c:199 (strcmp((char *)cell->str, "bool"))

setsal opened this issue · comments

Description

With specific xls file input, it will cause segmentation fault when processing xls cell in strcmp().

Backtrace to the xls2csv source code, I think this bug may be due to the null cell->str pointer dereference or the xls format checking bypass in xls_open_file()
