A vulnerability has been identified in GNOME Evolution, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This issue is due to a format string error in the "write_html()" [calendar/gui/e-cal-component-memo-preview.c] function when processing a malformed shared memo, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by tricking a user into opening a malicious shared memo, clicking on the "Accept" box, and viewing the memo (via the "Memo" tab).
