There is no fixed version for evolution.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Evolution 2.2.x and 2.3.x in GNOME 2.7 and 2.8, when "load images if sender in addressbook" is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent crash) via a crafted "From" header that triggers an assert error in camel-internet-address.c when a null pointer is used.
