Description

 - CVE-2007-2650 It was discovered that the OLE2 parser can be tricked into an infinite loop and memory exhaustion.

 - CVE-2007-3023 It was discovered that the NsPack decompression code performed insufficient sanitising on an internal length variable, resulting in a potential buffer overflow.
