SEC14 — Parameters of locality constrained interfaces were using "sequence octet"

Open Closed All

  • Summary:

    Certain parameters of locality constrained interfaces were using
    "sequence octet" due to the inherent fear of CORBA any's. This should not
    be a problem. Also it is a serious bug as this might requires unnecessary
    marshalling of data to pass into the operations of locality constrained
    objects.

    The interfaces, their operations and parameters that are affected follow:

    PrincipalAuthenticator
    authenticate
    auth_data,continuation_data,auth_specific_data
    continue_authentication
    response_data,continuation_data,auth_specific_data
    AuditDecision
    audit_write
    event_specific_data
    Vault
    acquire_credentials
    auth_data,continuation_data,auth_specific_data
    continue_acquisition
    response_data,continuation_data,auth_specific_data

    These parameters should have the type "any".
