5.0
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 5.2% (pctl 92)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Evolution 2.8.1 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents Evolution from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
