libxslt vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

Applications using libxslt could be made to crash if they processed a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- libxslt: XSLT processing library

Details:

Nicholas Gregoire discovered that libxslt incorrectly handled certain empty
values. 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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
  libxslt1.1                      1.1.26-14ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  libxslt1.1                      1.1.26-8ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
