Descriptions

XMLTooling-C before 1.5.5, as used in OpenSAML-C and Shibboleth Service Provider (SP), does not properly handle integer conversion exceptions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via schema-invalid XML data.

Vulnerabilidad en XMLTooling-C en versión anterior a 1.5.5, tal como se utiliza en OpenSAML-C y Shibboleth Service Provider (SP), no maneja correctamente las excepciones de conversión de entero, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de datos XML de esquema no válido.

The InCommon Shibboleth Training team discovered that XMLTooling, a C++ XML parsing library, did not properly handle an exception when parsing well-formed but schema-invalid XML. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted XML data.
