|
Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported two vulnerabilities in
|
|
Evolution:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul><li>
|
|
A boundary error exists when parsing overly long timezone strings
|
|
contained within iCalendar attachments and when the ITip formatter is
|
|
disabled (CVE-2008-1108).</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A boundary error exists when replying to an iCalendar request with an
|
|
overly long "DESCRIPTION" property while in calendar view
|
|
(CVE-2008-1109).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
|
|
iCalendar attachment, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
|
|
the privileges of the user running Evolution.
|
|
</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 ">=mail-client/evolution-2.12.3-r2"</code>

|
