Anthony de Almeida Lopes reported the libxslt library did not properly process long β€˜transformation match’ conditions in the XSL stylesheet files. An attacker could create a malicious XSL file that would cause a crash, or, possibly, execute and arbitrary code with the privileges of the application using libxslt library to perform XSL transformations. (CVE-2008-1767)
