NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream simplesamlphp package and not the simplesamlphp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The SimpleSAML_XML_Validator class constructor in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.14.11 might allow remote attackers to spoof signatures on SAML 1 responses or possibly cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging improper conversion of return values to boolean.
