A flaw was found in the way xmlsec1 handled XML files that contain an XSLT transformation specification. A specially crafted XML file could cause xmlsec1 to create or overwrite an arbitrary file while performing the verification of a file’s digital signature.
(CVE-2011-1425)

After installing the update, all running applications that use the xmlsec1 library must be restarted for the update to take effect.
