Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxslt'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in libxslt:

Unspecified vulnerability in XSLT allows remote attackers to obtain
potentially sensitive information about heap memory addresses via
unknown vectors (CVE-2011-1202).

libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier does not properly manage memory, which might
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)
via a crafted XSLT expression that is not properly identified during
XPath navigation, related to (1) the xsltCompileLocationPathPattern
function in libxslt/pattern.c and (2) the xsltGenerateIdFunction
function in libxslt/functions.c (CVE-2012-2870).

libxml2 2.9.0-rc1 and earlier does not properly support a cast of
an unspecified variable during handling of XSL transforms, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have
unknown other impact via a crafted document, related to the _xmlNs
data structure in include/libxml/tree.h (CVE-2012-2871).

Double free vulnerability in libxslt allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
vectors related to XSL transforms (CVE-2012-2893).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
libxslt on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
