Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 482664.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-1767.
More information:

It was discovered that libxslt, an XSLT processing runtime library, could be coerced into executing arbitrary code via a buffer overflow when an XSL style sheet file with a long XSLT "transformation match" condition triggered a large number of steps.
