    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1896-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer September 28, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : opensaml, shibboleth-sp
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the opensaml and
    shibboleth-sp packages, as used by Shibboleth 1.x:

    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 ignored key usage constraints.

    For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1.3f.dfsg1-2+etch1 of the shibboleth-sp packages, and
    version 1.1a-2+etch1 of the opensaml packages.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.3.1.dfsg1-3+lenny1 of the shibboleth-sp packages, and
    version 1.1.1-2+lenny1 of the opensaml packages.

    The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain Shibboleth 1.x
    packages.

    This update requires restarting the affected services (mainly Apache)
    to become effective.

    We recommend that you upgrade your Shibboleth 1.x packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
