Synopsis:	Important: evolution-data-server security update
Issue date:	 2007-06-25
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-3257

A flaw was found in the way evolution-data-server processes certain IMAP
server messages. If a user can be tricked into connecting to a malicious
IMAP server it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user
running the evolution-data-server process. (CVE-2007-3257)

Evolution crushed in first-time wizard stage for timezones: Europe/Moscow,
Europe/Volgograd, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Makassar, Asia/Ujung_Pandang,
Asia/Ulaanbaatar, Asia/Ulan_Bator. This bug is a consequence of removing TZNAME 
tag from timezone ICS VCARDs.
