Detail
| Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rc4 (1) encryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4EncryptFunction) and (2) decryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4DecryptFunction) functions in crypto.c in libexslt in libxslt 1.1.8 through 1.1.24 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XML file containing a long string as "an argument in the XSL input." |

| Title: | RHSA-2008:0649 -- libxslt security update (Moderate) | ||
| Description: | Updated libxslt packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. libxslt is a library for transforming XML files into other XML files using the standard XSLT stylesheet transformation mechanism. A heap buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the RC4 libxslt library extension. An attacker could create a malicious XSL file that would cause a crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application using the libxslt library to perform XSL transformations on untrusted XSL style sheets. (CVE-2008-2935) Red Hat would like to thank Chris Evans for reporting this vulnerability. All libxslt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. | ||
