CVE-2009-0217: XML signature HMAC truncation authentication bypass

July 14, 2009 (updated October 12, 2018)

This package uses a parameter that defines an HMAC truncation length (HMACOutputLength) but does not require a minimum for this length, which allows attackers to spoof HMAC-based signatures and bypass authentication by specifying a truncation length with a small number of bits.
