Apache OpenOffice: Out of bounds memory access during WMF import

Summary

An uncontrolled memory access in the WMF import code of Apache OpenOffice versions through 4.1.16 allows a crafted WMF file to cause an invalid memory access, causing program crash or memory corruption. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.17, which fixes this issue.

Remediation
