Severity: Normal Title: Evolution: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code Date: June 16, 2008 Bugs: #223963 ID: 200806-06

Synopsis ========
Multiple vulnerabilities in Evolution may allow for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Evolution is the mail client of the GNOME desktop environment.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mail-client/evolution < 2.12.3-r2 >= 2.12.3-r2
Description ===========
Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported two vulnerabilities in Evolution:
* A boundary error exists when parsing overly long timezone strings contained within iCalendar attachments and when the ITip formatter is disabled (CVE-2008-1108).
* A boundary error exists when replying to an iCalendar request with an overly long "DESCRIPTION" property while in calendar view (CVE-2008-1109).
Impact ======
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.
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-2.12.3-r2"
