<description>
<p>
Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported two vulnerabilities in
Evolution:
</p>
<ul><li>
A boundary error exists when parsing overly long timezone strings
contained within iCalendar attachments and when the ITip formatter is
disabled (CVE-2008-1108).</li>
<li>
A boundary error exists when replying to an iCalendar request with an
overly long "DESCRIPTION" property while in calendar view
(CVE-2008-1109).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
iCalendar attachment, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running Evolution.
</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 ">=mail-client/evolution-2.12.3-r2"</code>
</resolution>
