Debian DSA-1895-1 : xmltooling - several vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 44760
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.Description
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).
Solution
Upgrade the xmltooling packages.For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0-2+lenny1.
