CVE-2021-21239

Description

A verification flaw was found in python-pysaml2, where it did not ensure that a signed SAML document was correctly signed. The default CryptoBackendXmlSec1 backend uses the xmlsec1 binary to verify the signature of signed SAML documents, but by default xmlsec1 accepts any type of key found within the given document. xmlsec1 must be configured explicitly to only use only x509 certificates for the verification process of the SAML document signature. #### Mitigation Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
