Synopsis:	Moderate: evolution and evolution-data-server security update
Issue date:	2009-03-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0547 CVE-2009-0582 CVE-2009-0587

Evolution Data Server provides a unified back-end for applications which
interact with contacts, task and calendar information. Evolution Data
Server was originally developed as a back-end for Evolution, but is now
used by multiple other applications.

Evolution did not properly check the Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions (S/MIME) signatures used for public key encryption and
signing of e-mail messages. An attacker could use this flaw to spoof a
signature by modifying the text of the e-mail message displayed to the
user. (CVE-2009-0547)

It was discovered that evolution did not properly validate NTLM (NT LAN
Manager) authentication challenge packets. A malicious server using NTLM
authentication could cause evolution to disclose portions of its memory
or crash during user authentication. (CVE-2009-0582)

Multiple integer overflow flaws which could cause heap-based buffer
overflows were found in the Base64 encoding routines used by evolution
and evolution-data-server. This could cause evolution, or an application
using evolution-data-server, to crash, or, possibly, execute an
arbitrary code when large untrusted data blocks were Base64-encoded.
(CVE-2009-0587)

All running instances of evolution and evolution-data-server must be
restarted for the update to take effect.
