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.

A type confusion vulnerability exists in the lassonodeimplinitfromxml functionality of Entr'ouvert Lasso 2.5.1 and 2.8.2. A specially crafted SAML response can lead to an arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send a malformed SAML response to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the gassertnotreached functionality of Entr'ouvert Lasso 2.5.1 and 2.8.2. A specially crafted SAML assertion response can lead to a denial of service. An attacker can send a malformed SAML response to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the lassonodeinitfrommessagewithformat functionality of Entr'ouvert Lasso 2.5.1. A specially crafted SAML response can lead to a memory depletion, resulting in denial of service. An attacker can send a malformed SAML response to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the lassoproviderverifysamlsignature functionality of Entr'ouvert Lasso 2.5.1. A specially crafted SAML response can lead to a denial of service. An attacker can send a malformed SAML response to trigger this vulnerability.

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.
