A new Kaffeine vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-268-1 April 06, 2006
kaffeine vulnerability
CVE-2006-0051
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

kaffeine

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.6-0ubuntu2.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 0.7-0ubuntu4.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Marcus Meissner discovered a buffer overflow in the http_peek()
function. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted
playlist URL with Kaffeine, a remote attacker could exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
