Security issue fixed: - CVE-2017-14226: WP1StylesListener.cpp, WP5StylesListener.cpp, and WP42StylesListener.cpp in libwpd 0.10.1 mishandle iterators, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the WPXTableList class in WPXTable.cpp). This vulnerability can be triggered in LibreOffice before 5.3.7. It may lead to suffering a remote attack against a LibreOffice application. (bnc#1058025)

Bugfixes: - Fix various crashes, leaks and hangs when reading damaged files found by oss-fuzz. - Fix crash when NULL is passed as input stream. - Use symbol visibility on Linux. The library only exports public functions now. - Avoid infinite loop. (libwpd#3) - Remove bashism. (libwpd#5) - Fix various crashes and hangs when reading broken files found with the help of american-fuzzy-lop. - Make --help output of all command line tools more help2man-friendly. - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups. - Generate manpages for the libwpd-tools
