description

simplesamlphp/saml2 releases through 6.3.0 process HTTP-Redirect SAML messages without bounding decompressed data. An unauthenticated party able to reach a SAML SSO or SLO endpoint can exhaust PHP worker memory, disrupting SAML authentication services.

mitigation

Apply a local patch to impose a finite output limit when HTTP-Redirect messages are decompressed. Until a maintained release includes this change, reduce exposure by limiting accepted URL sizes and restricting or rate-limiting access to SAML endpoints where feasible.
