  • GHSA-gq5r-cc4w-g8xfDuplicate Advisory: gosaml2 is vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference from malformed XML signatures2021-06-23ghsa · osvUS

    ## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-prjq-f4q3-fvfr. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description This affects all versions less than 0.7.0 of package github.com/russellhaering/gosaml2. There is a crash on null pointer dereference caused by sending malformed XML signatures.

  • GHSA-mqqv-chpx-vq25goxmldsig vulnerable to crash on nil-pointer dereference caused by sending malformed XML signatures2022-10-07ghsa · osvUS

    This affects all versions of package github.com/russellhaering/goxmldsig prior to 1.1.1. There is a crash on nil-pointer dereference caused by sending malformed XML signatures. This issue is patched in version 1.1.1.
