DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for ubuntu-sso-client. This fixes a
security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
spoofing attacks.

The security issue is caused due to the application improperly
verifying the validity of SSL certificates and can be exploited to
spoof a valid server and e.g. conduct Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)
attacks.

Apply updated packages.
