medium Nessus Plugin ID 28076

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Philip Van Hoof discovered that the IMAP client in Evolution did not correctly verify the SEQUENCE value. A malicious or spoofed server could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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

Solution
