It was discovered that libsoup incorrectly handled parsing certain NTLM messages. If a user or automated system were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
