Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
It was discovered that the W3C XML Signature recommendation contains a protocol-level vulnerability related to HMAC output truncation. This update implements the proposed workaround in the C++ version of the Apache implementation of this standard, xml-security-c, by preventing truncation to output strings shorter than 80 bits or half of the original HMAC output, whichever is greater.
