| 46 |
</p> |
| 47 |
<ul><li> |
| 48 |
A boundary error exists when parsing overly long timezone strings |
| 49 |
contained within iCalendar attachments and when the ITip formatter is |
| 50 |
disabled (CVE-2008-1108).</li> |
| 51 |
<li> |
| 52 |
A boundary error exists when replying to an iCalendar request with an |
| 53 |
overly long "DESCRIPTION" property while in calendar view |
| 54 |
(CVE-2008-1109). |
| 55 |
</li> |

</ul> |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 59 |
<p> |
| 60 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
| 61 |
iCalendar attachment, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with |
| 62 |
the privileges of the user running Evolution. |
| 63 |
</p> |
