Amazon Linux 2 : evolution (ALAS-2020-1476)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 139859

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of evolution installed on the remote host is prior to 3.28.5-8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1476 advisory.

 GNOME Evolution through 3.28.2 is prone to OpenPGP signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages using a specially crafted email that contains a valid signature from the entity to be impersonated as an attachment. (CVE-2018-15587)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'yum update evolution' to update your system.
