    'infamous41md' has discovered that the 'ole_init_info' function may
    allocate too little memory for storing the contents of an OLE document,
    resulting in a heap buffer overflow.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted OLE
    document, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the
    user opening the document.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
