I hereby confirm the trigger, but I would like to correct the affected
versions regarding the Zarafa predecessor project to be more precise for
the CVE:

 * Zarafa 7.2.x: Affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 7.1.x: Affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 7.0.x: Affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 6.40.x: Affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 6.30.x: Affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 6.2x: Not affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 6.1x: Not affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 6.0x: Not affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 5.2x: Not affected (tested myself)
 * Zarafa 5.1x: Most likely not affected (but not tested myself)
 * Zarafa 5.0x: Not applicable (no zarafa-ical component)
 * Zarafa 4.2x: Not applicable (no zarafa-ical component)

As a conclusion the flaw issue was introduced after Zarafa 6.20.13 Final
(SVN Rev. 19023) and before Zarafa 6.30.0 Beta 1 (SVN Rev. 13713).

Given the crash and error messages in old Zarafa versions look different
than in more recent Zarafa/Kopano versions, here is how it looked for me
when tracking down the version introducing the flaw:

Starting zarafa-ical version 6,30,14,20002 (20002), pid 4937

And yes, Zarafa is a discontinued project/product, but sometimes still in
active/production use.
