Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the xmltooling packages,
as used by Shibboleth:

  • Chris Ries discovered that decoding a crafted URL leads to a crash (and
    potentially, arbitrary code execution).
  • Ian Young discovered that embedded NUL characters in certificate names
    were not correctly handled, exposing configurations using PKIX trust
    validation to impersonation attacks.
  • Incorrect processing of SAML metadata ignores key usage constraints.
    This minor issue also needs a correction in the opensaml2 packages,
    which will be provided in an upcoming stable point release (and,
    before that, via stable-proposed-updates).

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0-2+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xmltooling packages.
