Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200808-06 - Chris Evans (Google Security) reported that the libexslt library that is part of libxslt is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow in the RC4 encryption/decryption functions. Versions less than 1.1.24-r1 are affected.
ef6c4548eeaf2c38dd381d020b7846dcabda70f114e2b51587199cf82d3654bfMandriva Linux Security Advisory - Chris Evans of the Google Security Team found a vulnerability in the RC4 processing code in libxslt that did not properly handle corrupted key information. A remote attacker able to make an application linked against libxslt process malicious XML input could cause the application to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application in question. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
