CVE-2008-2935
Last modified
CVE-2008-2935 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the rc4 (1) encryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4EncryptFunction) and (2) decryption (aka exsltCryptoRc4DecryptFunction) functions in crypto.c in libexslt in libxslt 1.1.8 through 1.1.24 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XML file containing a long string as "an argument in the XSL input.". EPSS estimates a 12.79% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
