libxslt vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Libxslt could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.

Software Description:
- libxslt: XSLT processing library

Details:

Ivan Fratric discovered that Libxslt incorrectly handled certain memory
operations when handling documents. A remote attacker could use this issue
to cause Libxslt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.

package versions:
