  <affected>
    <package name="gnome-extra/evolution-data-server" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">1.10.3.1</unaffected>

    Evolution is the mail client of the GNOME desktop environment. Camel is
    the Evolution Data Server module that handles mail functions.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    The imap_rescan() function of the file camel-imap-folder.c does not
    properly sanitize the "SEQUENCE" response sent by an IMAP server before
    being used to index arrays.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A malicious or compromised IMAP server could trigger the vulnerability
    and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
    Evolution.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    Note that this GLSA addresses the same issue as GLSA 200707-03, but for
    the 1.10 branch of Evolution Data Server.
    </p>
    <p>
    All Evolution users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.10.3.1"</code>
  </resolution>
