Synopsis:	Moderate: evolution security update
Issue date:	2007-05-17
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-1558

A flaw was found in the way Evolution processed certain APOP
authentication requests. A remote attacker could potentially acquire
certain portions of a user's authentication credentials by sending
certain responses when evolution-data-server attempted to authenticate
against an APOP server. (CVE-2007-1558)
