Detail
| Alan Cox discovered a problem in gtkhtml, an HTML rendering widget used by the Evolution mail reader. Certain malformed messages could cause a cras due to a null pointer dereference. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-1.woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-6.2. We recommend that you upgrade your gtkhtml package and restart Evolution. |
