MDVA-2008:186-1 : evolution

high Nessus Plugin ID 36850

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Outgoing mails sent through the Evolution Exchange plugin were not always sent properly. Spell checking was not working properly when two different languages were enabled, causing all words to be detected as mistyped. Those bugs are fixed by this package updates, as well as massive performance improvements in IMAP handling, additional translations and many bug fixes from GNOME 2.24.2.

Update:

The previous update provided Evolution built against the wrong verion of the libcamel library, which would cause Evolution to segfault on startup.. This update corrects the problem.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
