The xsltCheckRead and xsltCheckWrite routines permitted access upon receiving an-1 error code and (as xsltCheckRead returned -1 for a specially-crafted URL that is not actually invalid) the attacker was subsequently authenticated.

CVE-2019-11068

libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of xsltCheckRead and xsltCheckWrite permit access even upon receiving a -1 error code. xsltCheckRead can return -1 for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.28-2+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxslt packages.
