NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream simplesamlphp package and not the simplesamlphp package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The validateSignature method in the SAML2\Utils class in SimpleSAMLphp before 1.14.10 and simplesamlphp/saml2 library before 1.9.1, 1.10.x before 1.10.3, and 2.x before 2.3.3 allows remote attackers to spoof SAML responses or possibly cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging improper conversion of return values to boolean.
