Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-05-02 01:42:22 UTC

The SecurityTokenService (STS) provided as part of Apache CXF has bindings to
issue, validate, renew and cancel tokens. The main use-case is to issue SAML
tokens. However, a less common use-case is to use the STS to validate SAML
tokens. The vulnerability is that there are certain circumstances in which the
STS will accept an invalid SAML token as valid if caching is enabled.

Affected versions:
Apach CXF 2.6.x < 2.6.12
Apach CXF 2.7.x < 2.7.9

Note from apache advisory:
Although this vulnerability has been fixed in CXF 2.6.12 and 2.7.9, due to 
other security advisories it is recommended to upgrade to the following
releases:
CXF 2.6.x users should upgrade to 2.6.14 or later as soon as possible.
CXF 2.7.x users should upgrade to 2.7.11 or later as soon as possible.
