Descriptions
The xsltStylePreCompute function in preproc.c in libxslt 1.1.28 does not check if the parent node is an element, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted XML file, related to a "type confusion" issue.
La función xsltStylePreCompute en preproc.c en libxslt 1.1.28 no comprueba si el nodo padre es un elemento, lo que permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio a través de un archivo XML manipulado, relacionado a un problema 'type confusion'.
Holger Fuhrmannek discovered an integer overflow in the xsltAddTextString function in Libxslt. An attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could cause a denial of service or possible execute arbitrary code. Nicolas Gregoire discovered that Libxslt mishandled namespace nodes. An attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
