 Package : ruby-saml CVE ID : CVE-2024-45409 Debian Bug : 1081560

 It was discovered that ruby-saml, a SAML library implementing the client side of a SAML authorization, does not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response, which could result in bypass of authentication in an application using the ruby-saml library.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.13.0-1+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-saml packages.

 For the detailed security status of ruby-saml please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ruby-saml

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
