Impact:
Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): prior to 1.1.24
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in libxslt. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted XSL style sheet file that, when processed by the target application using libxslt, will trigger an array overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target application.
The vulnerability resides in 'libxslt/pattern.c'.
Anthony de Almeida Lopes reported this vulnerability.
|
Impact:
A remote user can create a file that, when processed by the target application, will cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code.

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.
