Debian DLA-1314-1 : simplesamlphp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 108604

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Cure53 discovered that in SimpleSAMLphp, in rare circumstances an invalid signature on the SAML 2.0 HTTP Redirect binding could be considered valid.

Additionally this update fixes a regression introduced in DLA-1298 by the backported patch for SSA-201802-01/CVE-2018-7644.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.2-1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your simplesamlphp packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected simplesamlphp package.
