DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Evolution, which can be exploited by
malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.

The weakness is caused due to an error in evolution-data-server when
importing configuration settings, which can lead to Evolution e.g.
trying to access IMAP folders via plain text connections instead of
SSL/TLS protected connections, as originally specified. This can be
exploited to e.g. disclose the username and password of the IMAP
account by sniffing the network traffic via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)
attacks.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in evolution-data-server version 3.1.1. Manually verify
imported settings.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a Red Hat bug by Paul Ezvan.
