Low

Base vector

AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNOME Evolution versions 2.2.x through 2.3.x

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a persistent crash. This occurs when the "load images if sender in addressbook" option is enabled and a crafted "From" header is used, triggering an assert error in camel-internet-address.c due to a null pointer.

Recommendations For GNOME Evolution versions 2.2.x through 2.3.x, consider disabling the "load images if sender in addressbook" option as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
