Description:

The Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT 
stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute 
arbitrary Java bytecode.

The Apache Xalan Java project is dormant and in the process of being retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java 
to address this issue are expected.

Note: Java runtimes (such as OpenJDK) include repackaged copies of Xalan.

Hi, is there any available patch or bug report? The reference here
only seems to be a discussion of the retirement of xalan-j, rather
than the vulnerability.
