Bugzilla:
484925: CVE-2009-0547 evolution-data-server: S/MIME signatures are considered to be valid even for modified messages (MITM)

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

Evolution 2.22.3.1 checks S/MIME signatures against a copy of the e-mail text within a signed-data blob, not the copy of the e-mail text displayed to the user, which allows remote attackers to spoof a signature by modifying the latter copy, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5077.
