+	    The Apache Santuario XML Security for C++ library contained code
+	    paths at risk of dereferencing null pointers when processing various
+	    kinds of malformed KeyInfo hints typically found in signed or
+	    encrypted XML.  The usual effect is a crash, and in the case of the
+	    Shibboleth SP software, a crash in the shibd daemon, which prevents
+	    access to protected resources until the daemon is restarted.
