NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-libxml2 package and not the python3-libxml2 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.
