CVE-2018-12422

DISPUTED addressbook/backends/ldap/e-book-backend-ldap.c in
Evolution-Data-Server in GNOME Evolution through 3.29.2 might allow
attackers to trigger a Buffer Overflow via a long query that is processed
by the strcat function. NOTE: the software maintainer disputes this because
“the code had computed the required string length first, and then allocated
a large-enough buffer on the heap.”
