=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-69-1 January 24, 2005 evolution vulnerability CAN-2005-0102 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: evolution The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.0.2-0ubuntu2.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: 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 privileges (because camel-lock-helper is installed as setuid root).
