No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

XML::Sig versions before 0.71 for Perl allow signature wrapping via duplicate ID.

_get_signed_xml() in lib/XML/Sig.pm, called from verify(), resolves the SignedInfo Reference/@URI to a node with the XPath expression "//*[@ID='$id']" and returns the first node of the resulting node set. A document in which two elements share that ID value is accepted: the digest and signature are checked against whichever element comes first in document order, and the duplicate is not detected.

Such a document verifies successfully while an application that resolves the same ID independently can read the second, attacker supplied element; in a SAML2 context this places the contents of an Assertion under attacker control.
