GNOME Evolution Vulnerability

 

We are aware of a vulnerability in GNOME Evolution. This vulnerability, which is caused by a format string error in the "emf_multipart_encrypted()" function in mail/em-format.c, occurs when displaying data from an encrypted email message. By convincing a user to select a specially crafted email message, a remote, authenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.
We encourage users and administrators to apply updates as soon as possible. Administrators who compile Evolution from source should refer to GNOME Bug ID 520745; others should refer to their operating system vendor for updated software.
