Public bug reported:

Hello,

unrtf throws a coredump on some rtfs.

Ubuntu-Release: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Package: unrtf 0.21.5-1 (amd64)

I attach a test.rtf to reproduce the bug and a patch that fixes this
bug.

But: this is just a PoC fix! It checks if the result of word_string is
not null before the data is accessed (in the \\author section). Since
word_string is used many more times in convert.c, every result should be
checked.
