Nicolas Gregoire discovered that the XML Security Library xmlsec allowed
remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files through
specially crafted XML files using the libxslt output extension and a
ds:Transform element during signature verification.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.9-5+lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xmlsec1 packages.
