Vulnerabilities > CVE-2009-3474 - Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in Internet2 Opensaml, Shibboleth-Sp and Xmltooling
Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
OpenSAML 2.x before 2.2.1 and XMLTooling 1.x before 1.2.1, as used by Internet2 Shibboleth Service Provider 2.x before 2.2.1, do not follow the KeyDescriptor element's Use attribute, which allows remote attackers to use a certificate for both signing and encryption when it is designated for just one purpose, potentially weakening the intended security application of the certificate.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-1895.NASL 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). last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 44760 published 2010-02-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/44760 title Debian DSA-1895-1 : xmltooling - several vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-1895.
