Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-164 - Unspecified vulnerability in XSLT allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about heap memory addresses via unknown vectors. libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier does not properly manage memory, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted XSLT expression that is not properly identified during XPath navigation, related to the xsltCompileLocationPathPattern function in libxslt/pattern.c and the xsltGenerateIdFunction function in libxslt/functions.c. 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. 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. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XSLT document, a remote attacker could obtain potentially sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.04. It was discovered that libxslt incorrectly parsed certain patterns. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XSLT document, a remote attacker could cause libxslt to crash, causing a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
5dada35384ea916fefdd03285e96612d7c197f764028a0915522b0f15010b138Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1265-01 - libxslt is a library for transforming XML files into other textual formats using the standard XSLT stylesheet transformation mechanism. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxslt applied templates to nodes selected by certain namespaces. An attacker could use this flaw to create a malicious XSL file that, when used by an application linked against libxslt to perform an XSL transformation, could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

A regression was introduced which caused Thunderbird to display an empty menu bar. This update fixes the problem. It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in the memory handling of certain types of content. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. It was discovered that Thunderbird incorrectly handled certain JavaScript requests. If JavaScript were enabled, an attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed

It is possible that in some cases this address would be valuable information that could be used by an attacker while exploiting a different memory corruption but, in order to make an exploit more reliable or work around mitigation features in the browser or operating system. Various other issues were also addressed.
