Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Low: evolution security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0516-02

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0516.html

Issue date: 2013-02-21

CVE Names: CVE-2011-3201

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated evolution packages that fix one security issue and three bugs are

now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low

security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in

the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, noarch, ppc64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Evolution is the GNOME mailer, calendar, contact manager and communication

tool. The components which make up Evolution are tightly integrated with

one another and act as a seamless personal information-management tool.

 

The way Evolution handled mailto URLs allowed any file to be attached to

the new message. This could lead to information disclosure if the user did

not notice the attached file before sending the message. With this update,

mailto URLs cannot be used to attach certain files, such as hidden files or

files in hidden directories, files in the /etc/ directory, or files

specified using a path containing "..". (CVE-2011-3201)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Matt McCutchen for reporting this issue.

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* Creating a contact list with contact names encoded in UTF-8 caused these

names to be displayed in the contact list editor in the ASCII encoding

instead of UTF-8. This bug has been fixed and the contact list editor now

displays the names in the correct format. (BZ#707526)

 

* Due to a bug in the evolution-alarm-notify process, calendar appointment

alarms did not appear in some types of calendars. The underlying source

code has been modified and calendar notifications work as expected.

(BZ#805239)

 

* An attempt to print a calendar month view as a PDF file caused Evolution

to terminate unexpectedly. This update applies a patch to fix this bug and

Evolution no longer crashes in this situation. (BZ#890642)

 

All evolution users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances

of Evolution must be restarted for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
