NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream evolution-data-server-doc package and not the evolution-data-server-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

camel/providers/imapx/camel-imapx-server.c in the IMAPx component in GNOME evolution-data-server before 3.21.2 proceeds with cleartext data containing a password if the client wishes to use STARTTLS but the server will not use STARTTLS, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network. The server code was intended to report an error and not proceed, but the code was written incorrectly.
