Evolution: evolution: javascript execution via spoofed vcard control bypasses mail script-markup restriction

A flaw was found in Evolution. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTML email containing a spoofed vCard control. When a victim clicks on this control, Evolution's trusted JavaScript handler incorrectly assigns an attacker-controlled JavaScript URL to an iframe's source. This action leads to arbitrary JavaScript execution within the mail-viewing context, effectively bypassing the security measures designed to prevent script execution in email content.

CVE-2021-3349

GNOME Evolution through 3.38.3 produces a "Valid signature" message for an unknown identifier on a previously trusted key because Evolution does not retrieve enough information from the GnuPG API. NOTE: third parties dispute the significance of this issue, and dispute whether Evolution is the best place to change this behavior

CVE-2020-11879

An issue was discovered in GNOME Evolution before 3.35.91. By using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) "mailto?attach=..." parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make Evolution attach local files or directories to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=. value.

• Update to 3.36.0-1

CVE-2013-4166

The gpg_ctx_add_recipient function in camel/camel-gpg-context.c in GNOME Evolution 3.8.4 and earlier and Evolution Data Server 3.9.5 and earlier does not properly select the GPG key to use for email encryption, which might cause the email to be encrypted with the wrong key and allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

CVE-2018-15587

GNOME Evolution through 3.28.2 is prone to OpenPGP signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages using a specially crafted email that contains a valid signature from the entity to be impersonated as an attachment.

• Update to 3.30.5-1.1

CVE-2017-17689

The S/MIME specification allows a Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) malleability-gadget attack that can indirectly lead to plaintext exfiltration, aka EFAIL.

CVE-2011-3201

GNOME Evolution before 3.2.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the attachment parameter to a mailto: URL, which attaches the file to the email.

CVE-2009-1631

The Mailer component in Evolution 2.26.1 and earlier uses world-readable permissions for the .evolution directory, and certain directories and files under .evolution/ related to local mail, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.

• Update to 2.29.90-1

CVE-2008-1109

Heap-based buffer overflow in Evolution 2.22.1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long DESCRIPTION property in an iCalendar attachment, which is not properly handled during a reply in the calendar view (aka the Calendars window).

• Update to 2.22.2-1.1

CVE-2008-1108

Buffer overflow in Evolution 2.22.1, when the ITip Formatter plugin is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long timezone string in an iCalendar attachment.

• Update to 2.22.2-1.1

CVE-2008-0072

Format string vulnerability in the emf_multipart_encrypted function in mail/em-format.c in Evolution 2.12.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted encrypted message, as demonstrated using the Version field.

• Update to 2.12.3-1.1

CVE-2007-3257

Camel (camel-imap-folder.c) in the mailer component for Evolution Data Server 1.11 allows remote IMAP servers to execute arbitrary code via a negative SEQUENCE value in GData, which is used as an array index.

• Update to 2.12.0-1

CVE-2007-1002

Format string vulnerability in the write_html function in calendar/gui/e-cal-component-memo-preview.c in Evolution Shared Memo 2.8.2.1, and possibly earlier versions, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format specifiers in the categories of a crafted shared memo.

• Update to 2.10.2-1

CVE-2007-1266

Evolution 2.8.1 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents Evolution from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.

CVE-2006-2789

Evolution 2.2.x and 2.3.x in GNOME 2.7 and 2.8, when "load images if sender in addressbook" is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent crash) via a crafted "From" header that triggers an assert error in camel-internet-address.c when a null pointer is used.

• Update to 2.4.0-1

CVE-2006-0040

GNOME Evolution 2.4.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a text e-mail with a large number of URLs, possibly due to unknown problems in gtkhtml.

• Update to 2.10.1

CVE-2006-0528

The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains "Content-Disposition: inline" in the header, and a very long line in the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using an XML attachment.

• Update to 2.2.3-4

CVE-2005-2550

Format string vulnerability in Evolution 1.4 through 2.3.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the calendar entries such as task lists, which are not properly handled when the user selects the Calendars tab.

• Update to 2.2.3-3

CVE-2005-2549

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Evolution 1.5 through 2.3.6.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) full vCard data, (2) contact data from remote LDAP servers, or (3) task list data from remote servers.

• Update to 2.2.3-3

CVE-2002-1765

Evolution 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via an email with a malformed MIME header.

• Update to 1.0.5
