<description>
<p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libxslt:</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiple errors exist in pattern.c and functions.c (CVE-2012-2870,
CVE-2012-6139).
</li>
<li>A double-free error exists in templates.c (CVE-2012-2893).</li>
<li>A NULL pointer dereference in keys.c (CVE-2012-6139).</li>
<li>An error in handling stylesheets containing DTDs (CVE-2013-4520).</li>

</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
file in an application linked against libxslt, possibly resulting in a
Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All libxslt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.28"
</code>
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
