NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pysaml2 package and not the python-pysaml2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Python package pysaml2 version 4.4.0 and earlier reuses the initialization vector across encryptions in the IDP server, resulting in weak encryption of data.
