Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Evolution Data Server vulnerability (USN-3998-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 125621

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3998-1 advisory.

 Marcus Brinkmann discovered that Evolution Data Server did not correctly interpret the output from GPG when decrypting encrypted messages. Under certain circumstances, this could result in displaying clear- text portions of encrypted messages as though they were encrypted.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
