    This C library allows to transform XML files into other XML files (or HTML, text, ...) using the standard
    XSLT stylesheet transformation mechanism. To use it you need to have a version of libxml2 >= 2.6.27
    installed. The xsltproc command is a command line interface to the XSLT engine
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2011-1202
    The xsltGenerateIdFunction function in functions.c in libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome
    before 10.0.648.127 and other products, allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
    information about heap memory addresses via an XML document containing a call to the XSLT generate-id
    XPath function.
     CVE-2011-3970
    libxslt, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.46, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.
     CVE-2012-2825
    The XSL implementation in Google Chrome before 20.0.1132.43 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (incorrect read operation) via unspecified vectors.
     CVE-2012-2870
    libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89, 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-2012-2871
    libxml2 2.9.0-rc1 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89, 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.
