[USN-737-1] libsoup vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-737-1             March 16, 2009
libsoup vulnerability
CVE-2009-0585
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  libsoup2.2-8                    2.2.93-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
  libsoup2.2-8                    2.2.100-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that the Base64 encoding functions in libsoup did not
properly handle large strings. If a user were tricked into connecting to a
malicious server, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with
user privileges.
