+ <description>

+ camel-lock-helper application, which is installed as setgid mail by
+ default.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute
+ malicious code with the privileges of the 'mail' group. A remote
+ attacker could also setup a malicious POP server to execute arbitrary
+ code when an Evolution user connects to it.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/evolution-2.0.2-r1"</code>
