|
|
CVE Reference:
CAN-2005-2549, CAN-2005-2550
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Aug 29 2005
|
Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): Evolution 1.5 to Evolution 2.3.6.1
|
Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Evolution. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
Several format string vulnerabilities exists in Evolution that result from the method used to process data from remote sources.
The first vulnerability involves viewing vCard data attached to an e-mail message. When a message of this type is opened, a condensed view of the vCard is displayed and the vulnerability exploit is not triggered. In order to be triggered, a user must view the entire vCard or perform a similar action such as saving the vCard in the address book and viewing the saved data in Contacts.
The flaw can be exploited by sending emails with malicious code in the vcards attachments sent to Evolution users.
The second format string vulnerability involves the display of contact data from remote LDAP servers.
The third format string vulnerability involves the display of task list data from
remote servers.
The fourth format string vulnerability involves using the Calendar tab to save task list data that is vulnerable to the third vulnerability described above. Other calendar entries that do not come from task lists are also affected.
Ulf Harnhammar of the Swedish IT Incident Centre (SITIC) reported the vulnerabilities.
|
Impact:
A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. The code is typically executed with the privileges of the user, service, application that was used to activate the code.

Solution:
Red Hat has released a fix.

3. Problem description:
Evolution is the GNOME collection of personal information management (PIM)
tools.
A format string bug was found in Evolution. If a user tries to save a
carefully crafted meeting or appointment, arbitrary code may be executed as
the user running Evolution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2550 to this issue.
Additionally, several other format string bugs were found in Evolution. If
a user views a malicious vCard, connects to a malicious LDAP server, or
displays a task list from a malicious remote server, arbitrary code may be
executed as the user running Evolution. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2549 to this issue. Please
note that this issue only affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
All users of Evolution should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch which resolves this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
