Description
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.
