CVE-2018-7711 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 simplesamlphp to version 1.15.4-1 or higher.
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.
HTTPRedirect.php in the saml2 library in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.15.4 has an incorrect check of return values in the signature validation utilities, allowing an attacker to get invalid signatures accepted as valid by forcing an error during validation. This occurs because of a dependency on PHP functionality that interprets a -1 error code as a true boolean value.
