Dear security team,
so far there hasn't been a security update for the latest evolution
vulnerabilities. (CVE-2005-2549/CVE-2005-2550)
I've attached patches for Woody and Sarge. The Sarge fixes are straightforward,
but some comments on Woody, relative to the patch hunks from the Sarge fix:
- accum_attribute() isn't present in Woody, so hunk 1-3 are void.
- the vulnerable code from e-cal-component-preview.c isn't present either.
- the vulnerable code from e-calendar-table.c and e-calendar-view.c is contained
  in Woody, although in a different place. This is exploitable as well, have a
  look at the description of the function that feeds data into ical_string:
  | * cal-client/cal-client.c (cal_client_get_component_as_string): new
  |   function to return a complete VCALENDAR string containing a VEVENT
  |   or VTODO with all the VTIMEZONEs it uses.

Cheers,
        Moritz
