Synopsis:          Low: evolution security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2005:238-01
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005:238.html
Issue date:        2005-05-19
Updated on:        2005-05-19
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names:         CAN-2005-0102
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------1. Summary:

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

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// 
   / 
   

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.
