NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tika package and not the tika package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Apache Tika 0.9 to 1.18, in a rare edge case where a user does not specify an extract directory on the commandline (--extract-dir=) and the input file has an embedded file with an absolute path, such as "C:/evil.bat", tika-app would overwrite that file.
