NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt-python package and not the libxslt-python package as distributed by RHEL.

numbers.c in libxslt before 1.1.43 has a use-after-free because, in nested XPath evaluations, an XPath context node can be modified but never restored. This is related to xsltNumberFormatGetValue, xsltEvalXPathPredicate, xsltEvalXPathStringNs, and xsltComputeSortResultInternal.
