| sun-jsam-xslt-code-execution (43429) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Access Manager could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error when processing XSLT stylesheets contained inside XSLT Transforms. By persuading a victim to view a specially-crafted XML Signature, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with privileges of the application.
