[Evolution] Bug#378057: Format String bug in task description field

Package: evolution
Version: 2.0.4-2
Severity: important

When I put a %s or other format string characters in the Description
field of a task, the preview pane shows garbage.
Putting multiple %s characters in the description crashes evolution, and
it becomes impossible to delete the task.
This bug could be exploitable to cause evolution to execute arbitrary
code.
