Descriptions

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rc4 (1) encryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4EncryptFunction) and (2) decryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4DecryptFunction) functions in crypto.c in libexslt in libxslt 1.1.8 through 1.1.24 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XML file containing a long string as "an argument in the XSL input."

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer basados en montículo en las funciones rc4 de (1) cifrado (aka exsltCryptoRc4EncryptFunction) y (2) descifrado (aka exsltCryptoRc4DecryptFunction) en crypto.c en libexslt en libxslt 1.1.8 hasta 1.1.24 permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto ejecutar código de su elección a través de un fichero XML que contiene una larga cadena de caracteres como "un argumento en la entrada XSL."
