NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xmltooling package and not the xmltooling package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

XMLTooling-C before 1.5.5, as used in OpenSAML-C and Shibboleth Service Provider (SP), does not properly handle integer conversion exceptions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via schema-invalid XML data.
