Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for python-pysaml2.

CVE-2021-21238[0]:
| PySAML2 is a pure python implementation of SAML Version 2 Standard.
| PySAML2 before 6.5.0 has an improper verification of cryptographic
| signature vulnerability. All users of pysaml2 that need to validate
| signed SAML documents are impacted. The vulnerability is a variant of
| XML Signature wrapping because it did not validate the SAML document
| against an XML schema. This allowed invalid XML documents to be
| processed and such a document can trick pysaml2 with a wrapped
| signature. This is fixed in PySAML2 6.5.0.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
