========================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.04

- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

An attacker could send crafted input to Eucalyptus to run commands as
a valid user.

Software Description:
- eucalyptus: Elastic Utility Computing Architecture
- rampart: Apache web services security engine

Details:

Juraj Somorovsky, Jorg Schwenk, Meiko Jensen and Xiaofeng Lou discovered
that Eucalyptus did not properly validate SOAP requests. An unauthenticated

Eucalyptus SOAP interface in the context of an authenticated user.

package versions:

Ubuntu 11.04:
