Hello,

I noticed a (fairly recent CVE) against one of my packages (docvert):

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5147

I'm not exactly sure how one would exploit this given that the affected script
literally consists of:

  cat /var/www/docvert/doc/sample/sample-document.doc | 
/var/www/docvert/core/lib/pyodconverter/pyodconverter2.py --stream > 
/tmp/outer.odt

(see 
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/docvert.git;a=blob;f=core/lib/pyodconverter/test-pipe-to-pyodconverter.org.sh;hb=master)

I was wondering if you think it's worth issuing a security advisory for.

I will remove that (unused) script from the next upload of the package.

Cheers,
Francois
