Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the xsltSetSourceNodeFlags function during processing of result tree fragments. An attacker can cause memory corruption and application crashes by manipulating internal attribute metadata, which may lead to memory cleanup routines operating on already-freed memory. This could result in denial-of-service or potentially facilitate code execution under certain memory reuse conditions.
