3. Description:

 

libxslt is a C library, based on libxml, for parsing of XML files into

other textual formats (eg HTML, plain text and other XML representations of

the underlying data). It uses the standard XSLT stylesheet transformation

mechanism and, being written in plain ANSI C, is designed to be simple to

incorporate into other applications

 

Anthony de Almeida Lopes reported the libxslt library did not properly

process long "transformation match" conditions in the XSL stylesheet files.

An attacker could create a malicious XSL file that would cause a crash, or,

possibly, execute and arbitrary code with the privileges of the application

using libxslt library to perform XSL transformations. (CVE-2008-1767)

 

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a

backported patch to resolve this issue.

 

4. Solution:
