<background>
<p>Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into
HTML, text, or other XML document types.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>The TransformerFactory in Apache Xalan-Java does not properly restrict
access to certain properties when FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING is enabled.
This can also be exploited via a Java property that is bound to the XSLT
1.0 system-property function.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could inject specially crafted XSLT properties
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known work around at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Xalan-Java users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-java/xalan-2.7.2"
</code>
</resolution>
