"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in SimpleSAMLphp, a
framework for authentication, primarily via the SAML protocol.

  - CVE-2017-12867
    Attackers with access to a secret token could extend its
    validity period by manipulating the prepended time
    offset.

  - CVE-2017-12869
    When using the multiauth module, attackers can bypass
    authentication context restrictions and use any
    authentication source defined in the config.

  - CVE-2017-12873
    Defensive measures have been taken to prevent the
    administrator from misconfiguring persistent NameIDs to
    avoid identifier clash. (Affects Debian 8 Jessie only.)

  - CVE-2017-12874
    The InfoCard module could accept incorrectly signed XML
    messages in rare occasions.

  - CVE-2017-18121
    The consentAdmin module was vulnerable to a Cross-Site
    Scripting attack, allowing an attacker to craft links
    that could execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the
    victim's browser.

  - CVE-2017-18122
    The (deprecated) SAML 1.1 implementation would regard as
    valid any unsigned SAML response containing more than
    one signed assertion, provided that the signature of at
    least one of the assertions was valid, allowing an
    attacker that could obtain a valid signed assertion from
    an IdP to impersonate users from that IdP.

  - CVE-2018-6519
    Regular expression denial of service when parsing
    extraordinarily long timestamps.

  - CVE-2018-6521
    Change sqlauth module MySQL charset from utf8 to utf8mb
    to prevent theoretical query truncation that could allow
    remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions

  - CVE-2018-7644
    Critical signature validation vulnerability."

"simplesamlphp, an authentication and federation application has been
found vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS), signature validation
byepass and using insecure connection charset.

CVE-2017-18121

A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) issue has been found in the consentAdmin
module of SimpleSAMLphp through 1.14.15, allowing an attacker to
manually craft links that a victim can open, executing arbitrary
JavaScript code.

CVE-2017-18122

A signature-validation bypass issue was discovered in SimpleSAMLphp
through 1.14.16. Service Provider using SAML 1.1 will regard as valid
any unsigned SAML response containing more than one signed assertion,
provided that the signature of at least one of the assertions is
valid. Attributes contained in all the assertions received will be
merged and the entityID of the first assertion received will be used,
allowing an attacker to impersonate any user of any IdP given an
assertion signed by the targeted IdP.

CVE-2018-6521

The sqlauth module in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.15.2 relies on the MySQL
utf8 charset, which truncates queries upon encountering four-byte
characters. There might be a scenario in which this allows remote
attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
1.9.2-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your simplesamlphp packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
