CVE-2025-10911 Details
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxslt while parsing xsl nodes that may lead to the dereference of expired pointers and application crash.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in libxslt, specifically when parsing XSL nodes. This issue can lead to the dereferencing of expired pointers, causing the application to crash. The vulnerability arises during the evaluation of global variables, where result value trees (RVTs) are improperly managed, allowing XPath evaluations to traverse links that should not be accessed. This flaw can be exploited by manipulating XSL key evaluations, resulting in a crash or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
A patch for this vulnerability has been proposed and is available as a merge request on the GNOME libxslt GitLab repository. However, the merge request has not yet been integrated into the main branch.
