handling XSL style-sheet files, which could be exploited to trigger the
use of uninitialized memory, e.g. in a call to "free()".

XML file using a specially crafted XSL transformation file, possibly
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
