- libxslt - XSLT processing library
Details
Chris Evans discovered that libxslt incorrectly handled generate-id XPath
functions. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted XSLT document, a remote attacker could obtain potentially
sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu
10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.04. (CVE-2011-1202)
It was discovered that libxslt incorrectly parsed certain patterns. If a
user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted
XSLT document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to crash, causing a
denial of service. (CVE-2011-3970)
Nicholas Gregoire discovered that libxslt incorrectly handled unexpected
DTD nodes. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted XSLT document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to
crash, causing a denial of service. (

Nicholas Gregoire discovered that libxslt incorrectly managed memory. If a
user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted
XSLT document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to crash, causing a
denial of service. (CVE-2012-2870)
Nicholas Gregoire discovered that libxslt incorrectly handled certain
transforms. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted XSLT document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to
crash, causing a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Cris Neckar discovered that libxslt incorrectly managed memory. If a user
or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XSLT
document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to crash, causing a denial
of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-2893)
