The cairo library (libcairo), as used in GNOME Evolution and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains "Content-Disposition: inline" in the header, and a very long line in the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using an XML attachment.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old desktop denial-of-service issue in libcairo as used by GNOME Evolution. A crafted email attachment could make the mail client crash repeatedly until the message was manually removed. The provided sources do not establish code execution or current active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux desktops running GNOME Evolution with vulnerable libcairo packages. The affected-product metadata is incomplete, and the CVE only says libcairo was used in Evolution and possibly other products. Treat as a legacy endpoint resilience issue, not an enterprise-wide emergency based on the supplied evidence. Prioritize remediation where old Linux desktop mail clients remain in production or handle external email. Mitigation focus: Check Ubuntu, SUSE, and Mandriva advisories for applicable libcairo or Evolution updates.; Upgrade or retire unsupported systems running affected GNOME Evolution/libcairo versions.; Remove the offending email manually if the client is stuck in a crash loop..
