Description Vincent Danen 2011-04-19 04:12:58 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-1712 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-1712
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1712
Assigned: 20110415
Reference: http://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.com/2011/03/multi-browser-heap-address-leak-in-xslt.html

The txXPathNodeUtils::getXSLTId function in
txStandaloneXPathTreeWalker.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.16 and earlier
allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information
about heap memory addresses via an XML document containing a call to
the XSLT generate-id XPath function.


This flaw is the same root issue as CVE-2011-1202 (in libxslt).
