Summary
The InCommon Shibboleth Training team discovered that XMLTooling, a
C++ XML parsing library, did not properly handle an exception when
parsing well-formed but schema-invalid XML. This could allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted XML data.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.4.3-4+deb7u1.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.5.3-2+deb8u1.
For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
in version $stretch_VERSION.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version $UNSTABLE_VERSION.
We recommend that you upgrade your opensaml2 packages.
