Hi,

We have a system running on Debian 10 with GNOME Evolution v3.30.5-1.1 installed along with other packages.

Security Vulnerability with GNOME Evolution v3.30.5-1.1:

THREAT:
Gnome Evolution is prone to information disclosure vulnerability using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) quote"mailto?attach=..."quote parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make Evolution attach local files or directories to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=. value.
Affected Version:
GNOME Evolution before 3.35.91

IMPACT:
Successful exploitation of this issue will lead to information disclosure.

SOLUTION:
Upgrading to 3.35.91 or to the latest version of GNOME Evolution (http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/) would resolve this Vulnerability.


When can we expect latest version of GNOME Evolution to be available in Debian 10 ?


Thanks,
Revanth.
