    <p>
    Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in the
    camel-lock-helper application, which is installed as setgid mail by
    default.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute
    malicious code with the privileges of the 'mail' group. A remote
    attacker could also setup a malicious POP server to execute arbitrary
    code when an Evolution user connects to it.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-client/evolution-2.0.2-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
