Descriptions
numbers.c in libxslt before 1.1.29, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, mishandles namespace nodes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.
numbers.c in libxslt en verisones anteriores a 1.1.29, como es usado en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 51.0.2704.63, no maneja correctamente los nodos de espacio de nombres, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación del servicio (acceso a memoria dinámica fuera de límites) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un documento manipulado.
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.
