NVD Description

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

The Mailer component in Evolution 2.26.1 and earlier uses world-readable permissions for the .evolution directory, and certain directories and files under .evolution/ related to local mail, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.
