+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chris Evans (Google Security) reported that the libexslt library that
+ is part of libxslt is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow in the
+ RC4 encryption/decryption functions.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to process an XML file using a
+ specially crafted XSLT stylesheet in an application linked against
+ libxslt, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application.
+ </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-1.1.24-r1"</code>
