CVE-2011-2516 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-2516):
  Off-by-one error in the XML signature feature in Apache XML Security for C++
  1.6.0, as used in Shibboleth before 2.4.3 and possibly other products,
  allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a signature
  using a large RSA key, which triggers a buffer overflow.


Please punt vulnerable versions.
