Description:   Opened: 2007-03-21 13:19 0000 
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Evolution, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

A format string error in the "write_html()" function in
calendar/gui/e-cal-component-memo-preview.c when displaying a memo's
categories can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code via
a specially crafted shared memo containing format specifiers.

Successful exploitation requires that the user opens a shared memo in
their mailbox, clicks on "Accept", and views the memo under the "Memo"
tab.

NOTE: The categories are not displayed in the mailbox view of a
shared memo.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.8.2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
