Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in PySAML2 might allow remote attackers to bypass
authentication.

Background
==========

PySAML2 is a pure python implementation of SAML2

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-python/pysaml2           < 4.5.0                    >= 4.5.0

Description
===========

It was found that the PySAML2 relies on an assert statement to check
the user's password. A python optimizations might remove this
assertion.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could bypass security restrictions and access any
application which is using PySAML2 for authentication.

Workaround
==========

Disable python optimizations.

Resolution
==========

All PySAML2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/pysaml2-4.5.0"

References
==========
