Description

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0353 :

Updated evolution packages that fix a security bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Evolution is the GNOME collection of personal information management (PIM) tools.

A remote attacker could potentially acquire certain portions of a user's authentication credentials by sending certain responses when evolution-data-server attempted to authenticate against an APOP server.

All users of Evolution should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch which resolves this issue.

Update the affected evolution packages.
