Synopsis: Important: evolution security update
Issue date: 2008-06-04
CVE Names: CVE-2008-1108 CVE-2008-1109
A flaw was found in the way Evolution parsed iCalendar timezone attachment
data. If the Itip Formatter plug-in was disabled and a user opened a mail
with a carefully crafted iCalendar attachment, arbitrary code could be
executed as the user running Evolution. (CVE-2008-1108)
Note: the Itip Formatter plug-in, which allows calendar information
(attachments with a MIME type of "text/calendar") to be displayed as part
of the e-mail message, is enabled by default.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Evolution parsed
iCalendar attachments with an overly long "DESCRIPTION" property string. If
a user responded to a carefully crafted iCalendar attachment in a
particular way, arbitrary code could be executed as the user running
Evolution. (CVE-2008-1109).
