Rod Widdowson commented on SSPCPP-510:
--------------------------------------

Although not a security issue this has a fairly high importance.  At least one customer has a machine bricked for Shibboleth (broken install which cannot be uninstalled) as a result of this.

Also This case should be a chance to review that these files *are* refreshed with every install.
