CVE-2019-11068  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 libxslt to version 0:1.1.32-5.0.1.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2020-4464.

NVD Description

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

libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of xsltCheckRead and xsltCheckWrite permit access even upon receiving a -1 error code. xsltCheckRead can return -1 for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded.
