NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk-21-openj9 package and not the openjdk-21-openj9 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.
