CVE-2008-1767 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in pattern.c in libxslt before 1.1.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an XSL style sheet file with a long XSLT "transformation match" condition that triggers a large number of steps.. EPSS estimates a 12.79% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
