Synopsis:	Moderate: libxslt security update
Issue date:	2008-07-31
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-2935

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)
