A flaw was found in the way Evolution parsed iCalendar timezone attachment data. If the Itip Formatter plug-in was disabled and a user opened a mail with a carefully crafted iCalendar attachment, arbitrary code could be executed as the user running Evolution. (CVE-2008-1108)

Note: the Itip Formatter plug-in, which allows calendar information (attachments with a MIME type of ‘text/calendar’) to be displayed as part of the e-mail message, is enabled by default.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Evolution parsed iCalendar attachments with an overly long ‘DESCRIPTION’ property string. If a user responded to a carefully crafted iCalendar attachment in a particular way, arbitrary code could be executed as the user running Evolution. (CVE-2008-1109).
