Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for evolution.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1080 advisory.

Evolution is a GNOME application that provides integrated email, calendar, contact management, and communications functionality.

The evolution-data-server packages provide a unified back end for applications which interact with contacts, tasks and calendar information. Evolution Data Server was originally developed as a back end for the Evolution information management application, but is now used by various other applications.

Security Fix(es):

* evolution: specially crafted email leading to OpenPGP signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages (CVE-2018-15587)

* evolution-ews: all certificate errors ignored if error is ignored during initial account setup in gnome- online-accounts (CVE-2019-3890)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL evolution package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:1080.
