REDHAT-BUG-484925
First published: Tue Feb 10 2009(Updated: )
A man-in-the-middle-attack possibility was found in the way evolution handles the Secure / Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) mail messages. If the S/MIME email was sign, the email message subsequently modified, evolution would consider the S/MIME message signature to be valid even for such a modified message. An attacker could use this flaw to modify the emails (message integrity violation) between communicating part.
