A vulnerability has been identified in GNOME Evolution-data-server, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue is caused by an error in the "imap_rescan()" [camel/providers/imap/camel-imap-folder.c] that does not validate the "SEQUENCE" value before being used as an array index, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by tricking a user into connecting to a specially crafted IMAP server.
