Bug 1194832 (CVE-2015-0277)

flaw 1: in case a PicketLink Service Provider is accessed with assertion with AudienceRestriction element in Conditions element, and Audience elements contains only URIs of parties the SP is not a member of, SP consider such assertion to be valid. However according to SAML2 specification: the audience restriction condition evaluates to Valid if and only if the SAML relying party is a member of one or more of the audiences specified.
Lets have service providers SP1 and SP2, and an identity provider IdP. SP1 and SP2 uses IdP for authentication. Because of the bug, an assertion intended for SP1 could be misused to login to SP2 -- in case an attacker catches the assertion, he could log in not only to SP1 but also to SP2.

flaw 2: In case a PicketLink SP is accessed with assertion with a Destination attribute in Response element, and the Destination attribute is set to any URI, SP never discards response. However according to SAML2 specification, If it is present, the actual recipient MUST check that the URI reference identifies the location at which the massage was received. If it does not, the response MUST be discarded.
