The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'catdoc' package(s) announced via the DSA-575-1 advisory. A temporary file problem has been discovered in xlsview from the catdoc suite, converters from Word to TeX and plain text, which could lead to local users being able to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on predictable temporary file names. We recommend that you upgrade your catdoc package
