## Description

The GenericConsumer class in the Consumer component in ZendOpenId before
2.0.2 and the Zend\_OpenId\_Consumer class in Zend Framework 1 before 1.12.4
violate the OpenID 2.0 protocol by ensuring only that at least one field is
signed, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by
leveraging an assertion from an OpenID provider.
