aru Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:057 : cairo Updated cairo packages to address Evolution DoS vulnerability March 20th, 2006 GNOME Evolution 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. The underlying issue is in libcairo, which is used by recent versions of Evolution for message rendering. The Corporate Desktop 3.0 version of Evolution does not use libcairo and isnot vulnerable to this issue. Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are: 2006.0Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:057 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0528 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v: mdksec2mub,v 0.15 2005/11/24 16:53:12 aru Exp aru $) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
