Description:
Red Hat has reported a vulnerability in GtkHTML, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on Evolution.
The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference bug when handling certain HTML documents. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted HTML document to a user, which causes the Evolution mail component to crash.
