RHBA-2006:0003 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated evolution-connector and libsoup packages that resolve a bug are now
available.

Description

The evolution-connector package enables added functionality to Evolution
when used with a Microsoft Exchange Server. The libsoup package contains an
HTTP library implementation in C that was originally part of a SOAP (Simple
Object Access Protocol) implementation.

A 64-bit cleanliness problem was discovered in the NTLM authentication code
of the libsoup and evolution-connector packages. When a user of Evolution
on a 64-bit architecture machine attempted to connect to an Exchange server
using NTLM authentication, it would often randomly fail, claiming that the
password was incorrect.

Users of evolution-connector and libsoup should upgrade to these updated
pacakges, which resolve this issue.
