The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.10:
texinfo 4.7-2.2ubuntu2.2
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
texinfo 4.8-4ubuntu0.1

texinfo 4.8.dfsg.1-1ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Miloslav Trmac discovered a buffer overflow in texinfo's index=20
processor. If a user is tricked into processing a .texi file with=20
texindex, this could lead to arbitrary code execution with user=20
privileges.
