CVE-2008-1767  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libxslt to version 1.1.24-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt package and not the libxslt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in pattern.c in libxslt before 1.1.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an XSL style sheet file with a long XSLT "transformation match" condition that triggers a large number of steps.
