1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU81168
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40403
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in libxslt. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
MitigationUpdate the affected package libxslt to the latest version.
