Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:111

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : evolution

Date : June 10, 2008

Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Alan Rad Pop of Secunia Research discovered the following two

vulnerabilities in Evolution:

 

Evolution did not properly validate timezone data when processing

iCalendar attachments. If a user disabled the Itip Formatter plugin

and viewed a crafted iCalendar attachment, an attacker could cause

a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code with the

user's privileges (CVE-2008-1108).

 

Evolution also did not properly validate the DESCRIPTION field when

processing iCalendar attachments. If a user were tricked into

accepting a crafted iCalendar attachment and replied to it from

the calendar window, an attacker could cause a denial of service

or potentially execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges

(CVE-2008-1109).

 

In addition, Matej Cepl found that Evolution did not properly validate

date fields when processing iCalendar attachments, which could lead to

a denial of service if the user viewed a crafted iCalendar attachment

with the Itip Formatter plugin disabled.

 

Mandriva Linux has the Itip Formatter plugin enabled by default.

 

The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
