evolution-data-server vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Evolution Data Server would sometimes display email content as encrypted
when it was not.
Software Description:
– evolution-data-server: Evolution suite data server
Details:
Marcus Brinkmann discovered that Evolution Data Server did not correctly
interpret the output from GPG when decrypting encrypted messages. Under
certain circumstances, this could result in displaying clear-text portions
of encrypted messages as though they were encrypted.
