Comment 14 Marc LAUTIER 2025-04-25 18:18:52 UTC
Since applying this update on RHEL9 (libxslt-1.1.34-9.el9_5.2.x86_64), libxslt coredumps immediately upon reading an XSL excluding more than 2 namespaces (and issue an error when excluding 2).

To reproduce, run xsltproc command with the following XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        exclude-result-prefixes="xsl fo xs">
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:
realloc failed !
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 15 Norman Sardella 2025-04-26 10:49:46 UTC
I tried build the 6.14 kernel with libxslt-1.1.34-9.el9_5.2.x86_64 under RHEL 9
Hit realloc failures during build of kernel docs with xml

Comment 17 deckberg 2025-04-28 17:45:42 UTC
We are having the same problem as Marc LAUTIER.  We had to roll back to libxslt-1.1.34-9.el9_5.1.x86_64 and it immediately fixed the issue.  We have several exclude-result-prefixes in our code and are getting a Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Comment 18 Marc LAUTIER 2025-04-28 19:42:26 UTC
The rpm libxslt-1.1.34-9.el9_5.3.x86_64 that was made available earlier today fixes the issue for me.

Thanks for the quick fix.
