Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Shibboleth, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certificate fields containing NULL ('\0') characters. This can be exploited to e.g. conduct Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks via specially crafted certificates.
Successful exploitation requires that "PKIX" style of trust validation is used.
