Debian DSA-4457-1 : evolution - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 125783

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Hanno Bock discovered that Evolution was vulnerable 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.

Solution

Upgrade the evolution packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.22.6-1+deb9u2.
