NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream catdoc package and not the catdoc package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

msxlsview.sh in xlsview for catdoc 0.91 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on predictable temporary file names ("word$$.html").
