 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4503-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Thorsten Alteholz March 19, 2026 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : evolution-data-server Version : 3.38.3-1+deb11u3 CVE ID : CVE-2026-2604


 An issue has been found in evolution-data-server, an evolution database backend server.
 A Flatpak application with D-Bus access to the addressbook service can delete arbitrary files on the host, potentially including Flatpak override files. This fix canonicalizes the file path before performing a prefix comparison, ensuring that ../ sequences are resolved.



 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 3.38.3-1+deb11u3.

 We recommend that you upgrade your evolution-data-server packages.

 For the detailed security status of evolution-data-server please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/evolution-data-server

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the evolution-data-server packages.
