Description David Walser 2015-03-23 15:16:51 CET
Shibboleth upstream has issued several advisories for the Shibboleth Identity Provider that indicate that the actual security vulnerabilities were in the bundled opensaml-java, which we have packaged separately (to my knowledge we don't have the Shibboleth IdP packaged):
https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20131213.txt
https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20140813.txt
https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20140919.txt
https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20150225.txt

Fixing all of these would require updating opensaml-java to 2.6.5.  Fedora hasn't addressed a single one of these issues and is still using 2.5.3, so this appears to be another Java package in Fedora that's not being properly maintained.  Fortunately, we have dropped it in Cauldron.

Comment 2 David Walser 2015-09-02 17:37:29 CEST
With only a couple of weeks remaining in Mageia 4's lifetime, we don't have time to fix this and test it.  This package has been dropped and no longer exists in Mageia as of Mageia 5.  Closing this as OLD.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
