Synopsis

Description

 - Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5590, CVE-2013-5591, CVE-2013-5592)

 - A stack-based buffer overflow in txXPathNodeUtils::getBaseURI is possible due to uninitialized data during XSLT processing.
