lib3mf vulnerability
==========================================================================

lib3mf could be made to execute arbitrary code if it opens a specially
crafted 3MF file.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that lib3mf did not properly manage memory under
certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
