Background ========== libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the GNOME project. XSLT is an XML language to define transformations for XML. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/libxslt < 1.1.26-r3 >= 1.1.26-r3 Description =========== An out of bounds read error has been found in libxslt/pattern.c in libxslt. Impact ====== 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. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All libxslt users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26-r3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2011-3970 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-3970 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201203-08.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
