Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GNOME Evolution versions 2.4.2.1 and earlier

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, consuming CPU and memory resources, by sending a text e-mail containing a large number of URLs. This is possibly due to unknown problems in gtkhtml.
