DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Shibboleth, which can be
exploited by malicious users to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to the Identity Provider assigning
the same transient ID to multiple users. This can be exploited to
disclose attribute query results of another user.

Successful exploitation requires session IP address checking to be
disabled (enabled by default) and an attacker's IP address to change
after authentication but before a SAML response is sent.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.2.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Robert Egglestone, Univ. of Auckland.
