Logout URLs are signed with an HMAC over the redirect URI so that an attacker can't forge a logout URL. Verification compared the tags with
!=, which lowers to amemcmpand leaks the leading correct bytes from the response time.Mac::verify_slicecompares every byte before deciding.We also end up dropping a base64 encode/decode round trip and a now unreachable "Failed to decode expected signature" branch.
