CVE-2016-1683

numbers.c in libxslt before 1.1.29, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, mishandles namespace nodes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.

The libxslt package has been updated to version 1.1.29, which fixes several bugs and possible security issues, including an out-of-bounds memory access (CVE-2016-1683) and integer overflow (CVE-2016-1684), and provides other improvements.

These are all security issues fixed in the chromedriver-55.0.2883.75-3.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

These are all security issues fixed in the ungoogled-chromium-113.0.5672.92-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

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.
