+	  <p>
+	    The Shibboleth Service Provider software includes a MetadataProvider
+	    plugin with the plugin type "Dynamic" to obtain metadata on demand
+	    from a query server, in place of the more typical mode of
+	    downloading aggregates separately containing all of the metadata to
+	    load.
+	  </p><p>
+	    All the plugin types rely on MetadataFilter plugins to perform
+	    critical security checks such as signature verification, enforcement
+	    of validity periods, and other checks specific to deployments.
+	  </p><p>
+	    Due to a coding error, the "Dynamic" plugin fails to configure
+	    itself with the filters provided to it and thus omits whatever
+	    checks they are intended to perform, which will typically leave
+	    deployments vulnerable to active attacks involving the substitution
+	    of metadata if the network path to the query service is
+	    compromised.
