Chris Evans (Google Security) reported that the libexslt library that |
47 |
is part of libxslt is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow in the |
48 |
RC4 encryption/decryption functions. |

<impact type="normal"> |
52 |
<p> |
53 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to process an XML file using a |
54 |
specially crafted XSLT stylesheet in an application linked against |
55 |
libxslt, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the |
56 |
privileges of the user running the application. |
