Description
Some users have been hitting this bug with JDK 6. It has already been fixed in the 
Apache XMLSec implementation (see https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39273)
but needs to be patched in JDK 6.

Comments
EVALUATION

This bug can cause applications that validate XML Signatures to fail.
It has been reported when validating signed SAML assertions, which is
a web services security feature supported by our products such as 
AccessManager.
This is a pretty serious bug without an obvious workaround. It is an easy, low risk fix and it has already been fixed in the Apache XMLSec code.
