What is CVE-2005-2550?

The Evolution email client, spanning versions 1.4 to 2.3.6.1, contains a format string vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exploit functionality in the calendar section. By manipulating calendar entries, such as task lists, an attacker may cause the application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code. The flaw arises when user interaction with the Calendars tab does not adequately process user input, leading to security implications for affected users.
