Thanks for the report, but I am not sure I understand this. The current
code in ole.c reads already like your proposed patch:
if (nLen > OLENAMELENGTH) {
free(e);
return NULL;
}
Although I can reproduce the issue you mention, so there is definitely a
bug. Sadly, catdoc's code is not the easiest to follow :/
