  An integer overflow flaw which caused a heap-based buffer overflow was
  discovered in libsoup's Base64 encoding routine. An attacker could use this
  flaw to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. This arbitrary code
  would execute with the privileges of the application using libsoup's Base64
  routine to encode large, untrusted inputs. (CVE-2009-0585)

  All users of libsoup and evolution28-libsoup should upgrade to these
  updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.

  Evolution configured to connect to the GroupWise back-end) must be
