Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3950-2 resolves a significant vulnerability in python-requests. Upgrade promptly to safeguard HTTP transactions.
It was discovered that ruby-saml, a library for implementing the client side of a SAML authorization does not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response

Summary

It was discovered that ruby-saml, a library for implementing the
client side of a SAML authorization does not properly verify the
signature of the SAML Response. An unauthenticated attacker with
access to any signed saml document (by the IdP) can thus forge a SAML
Response/Assertion with arbitrary contents. This would allow the
attacker to log in as arbitrary user within the vulnerable system.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
1.11.0-1+deb11u1.

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:
