[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Severity: important
Tags: patch security

Hello,

This patch fixes the latest CVE of catdoc. The upstream repo[0] is not
updated for more than a year, so I grab the patch from openSUSE instead
(which is also used by Debian).

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

(I am re-sending this mail for the 3rd time since I didn't receive a
reply from debbugs. This time I decide to mail to guix-devel as well
just in case it doesn't work again.) 

Cheers,
Alex
