Debian DLA-1766-1 : evolution security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 124339

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Hanno Böck discovered that GNOME Evolution is prone to OpenPGP signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages using a specially crafted HTML email. This issue was mitigated by moving the security bar with encryption and signature information above the message headers.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your evolution packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
