NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream evolution-rss package and not the evolution-rss package as distributed by Debian.

In GNOME evolution-rss through 0.3.96, network-soup.c does not enable TLS certificate verification on the SoupSessionSync objects it creates, leaving users vulnerable to network MITM attacks. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2016-20011.
