How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable simplesamlphp to version 1.15.3-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The XmlSecLibs library as used in the saml2 library in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.15.3 incorrectly verifies signatures on SAML assertions, allowing a remote attacker to construct a crafted SAML assertion on behalf of an Identity Provider that would pass as cryptographically valid, thereby allowing them to impersonate a user from that Identity Provider, aka a key confusion issue.
