Evolution vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Evolution is made by Gnome. We track 22 published vulnerabilities listed under that exact name, across 449 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. Gnome lists newer releases under their own names, such as Evolution Data Server, so check those pages too.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.
Is Evolution listed under other names? Yes.
Gnome also lists Evolution under more specific names, such as Evolution Data Server. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.

Which Evolution flaws are most likely to be used?
Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.

1 new flaw affects software Acme tracks
The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains "Content-Disposition: inline" in the header, and a very long line in the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using an XML attachment.
