libxslt: Denial of Service

libxslt: Denial of Service A vulnerability in libxslt could result in Denial of Service. libxslt 2012-03-06 2012-03-06 402861 remote 1.1.26-r3 1.1.26-r3

libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the GNOME project. XSLT is an XML language to define transformations for XML.

An out of bounds read error has been found in libxslt/pattern.c in libxslt.

A remote attacker could entice a user to process an XML file using a specially crafted XSLT stylesheet in an application linked against libxslt, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All libxslt users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26-r3"
