referenced in the USN-3271-1 advisory.
Holger Fuhrmannek discovered an integer overflow in the xsltAddTextString() function in Libxslt. An
attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could cause a denial of service
(application crash) or possible execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5029)
Nicolas Gregoire discovered that Libxslt mishandled namespace nodes. An attacker could use this to craft a
malicious document that, when opened, could cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
execute arbtrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-1683)
Sebastian Apelt discovered that a use-after-error existed in the xsltDocumentFunctionLoadDocument()
function in Libxslt. An attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could
cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-1841)
It was discovered that a type confusion error existed in the xsltStylePreCompute() function in Libxslt. An
attacker could use this to craft a malicious XML file that, when opened, caused a denial of service
(application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7995)
Nicolas Gregoire discovered the Libxslt mishandled the 'i' and 'a' format tokens for xsl:number data. An
attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could cause a denial of service
(application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-1684)
It was discovered that the xsltFormatNumberConversion() function in Libxslt did not properly handle empty
decimal separators. An attacker could use this to craft a malicious document that, when opened, could
cause a denial of service (application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.10, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-4738)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
