Detail

Problem Description:

Updated evolution packages that fix various bugs are now available.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Evolution is the GNOME collection of personal information management (PIM) tools. Evolution includes a mailer, calendar, contact manager, and communication facility. The tools which make up Evolution are tightly integrated with one another and act as a seamless personal information management tool.

A bug was found in Evolution's helper program camel-lock-helper. This bug could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges if camel-lock-helper has been built to execute with elevated privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0102 to this issue. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, camel-lock-helper is not built to execute with elevated privileges by default. Please note however that if users have rebuilt Evolution from the source RPM, as the root user, camel-lock-helper may be given elevated privileges.

Additionally, these updated packages address the following issues:

- -- If evolution ran during a GNOME session, the evolution-wombat process
did not exit when the user logged out of the desktop.

- -- For folders marked for Offline Synchronization: if a user moved a
message from a Local Folder to an IMAP folder while in
Offline mode, the message was not present in either folder after
returning to Online mode.

This update fixes this problem. Email messages that have been lost
this way may still be present in the following path:

~/evolution/<NAME_OF_MAIL_STORE>/ \
<path-to-folder-via-subfolder-directories>/ \
<temporary-uid-of-message>

If this bug has affected you it may be possible to recover data by examining the contents of this directory.

All users of evolution should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date
