|
Ulf Harnhammar discovered that Evolution is vulnerable to format
|
|
string bugs when viewing attached vCards and when displaying contact
|
|
information from remote LDAP servers or task list data from remote
|
|
servers (CAN-2005-2549). He also discovered that Evolution fails to
|
|
handle special calendar entries if the user switches to the Calendars
|
|
tab (CAN-2005-2550).

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could attach specially crafted vCards to emails or
|
|
setup malicious LDAP servers or calendar entries which would trigger
|
|
the format string vulnerabilities when viewed or accessed from
|
|
Evolution. This could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary
|
|
code with the rights of the user running Evolution.
|

|
<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 ">=mail-client/evolution-2.2.3-r3"</code>
