Ulf Harnhammar from Secunia Research discovered a format string error
|
||
|
|
in the emf_multipart_encrypted() function in the file mail/em-format.c
|
||
|
|
when reading certain data (e.g. the "Version:" field) from an encrypted
|
||
|
|
e-mail.
|
||
|

<impact type="normal">

<p>
|
||
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
|
||
|
|
encrypted e-mail, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
|
||
|
|
code with the privileges of the user running Evolution.
|
||
|

|
||

</impact>
|

|
|
<workaround>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>

<resolution>

<p>
|

|

All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

<code>

# emerge --sync
|

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-client/evolution-2.12.3-r1"</code>
