Security issues in libxslt

Platform

Hi,

Since Nick stepped down as libxslt maintainer (thank you for maintaining libxslt for so long, Nick!), two security issues have been reported in libxslt, with disclosure deadlines of July 9 and July 13, respectively. If anybody is interested in helping to maintain libxslt, this project is really in need of a new maintainer.

If you just want to help fix the issues without becoming a maintainer, GNOME developers can find the details here and here. I wouldn’t be surprised if more such issues are reported soon.

both links return 404 to me, maybe they are set to private

Yes, they are confidential and only meant for GNOME developers, as stated above.

There is now a third issue with disclosure deadline of August 9. If you care about security of libxslt, then now is the time to get involved in maintaining it.
