Summary

libxslt security update

Details

Libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the GNOME project

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in libxstl/libxml2. The 'exsltDynMapFunction' function in libexslt/dynamic.c does not contain a recursion depth check, which may cause an infinite loop via a specially crafted XSLT document while handling 'dyn:map()', leading to stack exhaustion and a local denial of service.(CVE-2025-9714)

Severity

6.2 (Medium)

CVE-2025-9714 (GCVE-0-2025-9714)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-10 18:43 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:02

Title

Stack overflow in libxml2

Summary

Uncontrolled recursion in XPath evaluation in libxml2 up to and including version 2.9.14 allows a local attacker to cause a stack overflow via crafted expressions. XPath processing functions `xmlXPathRunEval`, `xmlXPathCtxtCompile`, and `xmlXPathEvalExpr` were resetting recursion depth to zero before making potentially recursive calls. When such functions were called recursively this could allow for uncontrolled recursion and lead to a stack overflow. These functions now preserve recursion depth across recursive calls, allowing recursion depth to be controlled.

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
