Synopsis ========
An overflow in the camel-lock-helper application can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Background ==========
Evolution is a GNOME groupware application similar to Microsoft Outlook.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mail-client/evolution <= 2.0.2 >= 2.0.2-r1
Description ===========
Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in the camel-lock-helper application, which is installed as setgid mail by default.
Impact ======
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.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose # ">=mail-client/evolution-2.0.2-r1"
