Critical: evolution security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Critical
Topic
Updated evolution packages that address a buffer overflow vulnerability are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Description
Evolution is the integrated collection of e-mail, calendaring, contact
management, communications and personal information management (PIM) tools
