evolution vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - evolution - evolution-dev - evolution1.5 - evolution1.5-dev Description : Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in camel-lock-helper. An user-supplied length value was not validated, so that a value of -1 caused a buffer allocation of 0 bytes this buffer was then filled by an arbitrary amount of user-supplied data. A local attacker or a malicious POP3 server could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root rights (because camel-lock-helper is installed as setuid root). Solution : Upgrade to : - evolution-2.0.2-0ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - evolution-dev-2.0.2-0ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - evolution1.5-2.0.2-0ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - evolution1.5-dev-2.0.2-0ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
