+ <background>
+ <p>libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the GNOME project. XSLT is
+ an XML language to define transformations for XML.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libxslt:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Multiple errors exist in pattern.c and functions.c (CVE-2012-2870,
+ CVE-2012-6139).
+ </li>
+ <li>A double-free error exists in templates.c (CVE-2012-2893).</li>
+ <li>A NULL pointer dereference in keys.c (CVE-2012-6139).</li>
+ <li>An error in handling stylesheets containing DTDs (CVE-2013-4520).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
+ file in an application linked against libxslt, possibly resulting in a
+ Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libxslt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.28"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
+ such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
