Lasso 2.2.1 and earlier does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL DSAverify function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.

An uninitialized data structure flaw was found in lasso, a library that implements SSO standards. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash an application using the lasso library.

The lasso library is used by ipsilon and modauthmellon.
