Severity: important
Tags: security

This is a security tracking bug.
Original report:
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SANTUARIO/issues/SANTUARIO-491

The issue is null pointer dereference in the library, which happens to
mean a trivial remote DoS (shibd crash) in the Shibboleth SP stack.

I requested a CVE from Mitre, but haven't got it yet.

The stretch security upload is ready, I'm sending the debdiff.

All version in the archive are affected, the upstream fix is in 2.0.1,
which will be uploaded to experimental shortly.
