       | This is way too broad of a title.

       | Title taken from their page:

       | Office / FreeOffice

           | So it's probably the submitter's doing.

         | I totally agree that appending _in SoftMaker Office_ to the
         | title does change the meaning dramatically. it narrows down the
         | vulnerability to a specific product that uses the MSI installer
         | but not the MSI as a technology.
