Description Martin Prpič 2015-01-20 10:20:35 EST
The 2.0.x series of releases of the Apache Santuario XML Security for Java library introduced support for streaming (StAX-based) XML Signature and Encryption.

It was discovered that Apache Santuario XML Security for Java did not correctly verify signatures of certain XML documents. A remote attacker could use this flaw to modify an XML document without invalidating its signature.

Please note that the "in-memory" (DOM) API for XML Signature is not affected by this issue, nor is the JSR-105 API. Also, web service stacks that use the streaming functionality of Apache Santuario (such as Apache CXF/WSS4J) are also not affected by this vulnerability.

Comment 1 Martin Prpič 2015-01-20 10:21:17 EST
