+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported two vulnerabilities in
+ Evolution:
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>
+ A boundary error exists when parsing overly long timezone strings
+ contained within iCalendar attachments and when the ITip formatter is
+ disabled (CVE-2008-1108).</li>
+ <li>
+ A boundary error exists when replying to an iCalendar request with an
+ overly long "DESCRIPTION" property while in calendar view
+ (CVE-2008-1109).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/evolution-2.12.3-r2"</code>
