CVE-2006-0528  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 evolution to version 2.2.3-4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream evolution package and not the evolution package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, 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.
