NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt-devel package and not the libxslt-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The xsltGenerateIdFunction function in functions.c in libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 10.0.648.127 and other products, allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about heap memory addresses via an XML document containing a call to the XSLT generate-id XPath function.
