Background ==========
Evolution is a GNOME groupware application.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mail-client/evolution < 2.12.3-r1 >= 2.12.3-r1

Impact ======
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.
