TITLE:
Shibboleth Identity / Service Provider Cross-Site Scripting and
Script Insertion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37237

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37237/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Shibboleth Identity and
Service Provider, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting and potentially script insertion
attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the sanitation of
certain URLs. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site when malicious data is viewed.

Successful exploitation within the Identity Provider requires that
relying of anonymous parties is enabled (enabled by default in 1.3x
and disabled by default in 2.x).

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3.5 or 2.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Matt Elder.
