Buffer overflow in OpenSAML before 1.1.3 as used in Internet2 Shibboleth Service Provider software 1.3.x before 1.3.4, and XMLTooling before 1.2.2 as used in Internet2 Shibboleth Service Provider software 2.x before 2.2.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed encoded URL.

OpenSAML 2.x before 2.2.1 and XMLTooling 1.x before 1.2.1, as used by Internet2 Shibboleth Service Provider 2.x before 2.2.1, do not follow the KeyDescriptor element's Use attribute, which allows remote attackers to use a certificate for both signing and encryption when it is designated for just one purpose, potentially weakening the intended security application of the certificate.

IssueDescription:

It was found that the ParserPool and Decrypter classes in the OpenSAML Java implementation resolved external entities, permitting XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
