CVE-2013-2153 xml-security-c: Signature verification bypass flaw via EntityReference nodes in Reference elements

CVE-2013-2153 [MEDIUM] CVE-2013-2153 xml-security-c: Signature verification bypass flaw via EntityReference nodes in Reference elements
CVE-2013-2153 xml-security-c: Signature verification bypass flaw via EntityReference nodes in Reference elements
A security flaw was found in the way Apache Santuario-C++ (AKA xml-security-c), a C++ language implementation of W3C security standards for XML, processed certain DSIG elements. When loading the XML file and reviewing the content of a elements used by the signer in the Signature, the xml-security-c library was (previously) not checking if that element did not contain EntityReference nodes, which allowed an attacker to bypass the signature verification process (make the signature verification process to succeed also for arbitrary forged content).
