CVE-2015-7995 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:17.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt package and not the libxslt package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The xsltStylePreCompute function in preproc.c in libxslt 1.1.28 does not check if the parent node is an element, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted XML file, related to a "type confusion" issue.
