Topic

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 important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

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

A flaw was found in the way Evolution processes certain IMAP server
messages. If a user can be tricked into connecting to a malicious IMAP
server it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running
evolution. (CVE-2007-3257)

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