Debian DLA-1983-1 : simplesamlphp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 130611

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that in SimpleSAMLphp, an implementation of the SAML 2.0 protocol, it was possible to circumvent XML signature verification on SAML messages.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.13.1-2+deb8u3.

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.
