Comment 2 Simo Sorce 2019-10-23 17:02:20 UTC

Pedro,
can you explain this bug please?

Apache Santuario is a Jave XML implementation, while xmlsec1 is a C implementation that is completely unrelated to that project.
If you suspect that the same vulnerability may affect xmlsec1, please explain how.

Comment 3 Pedro Sampaio 2019-10-23 21:28:13 UTC

Hi Simo,

Apparently, some of our xml-security packages is also shipped as xmlsec in some products. This probably made me mix things up.

Sorry about that. Feel free to close this and other similar bugs.
