    CVE-2007-1266

    Published: 6 Mar 2007Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: 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.
