The E-book viewer in calibre before 2.75 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted epub file with JavaScript.

It was found that a JavaScript present in the book can access files on the computer using XMLHttpRequest.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.51+dfsg1-0.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your calibre packages.
