CVE-2024-55549 is a use-after-free vulnerability in xsltGetInheritedNsList in libxslt before version 1.1.43, involving exclusion of result prefixes during XSLT stylesheet processing. When an included stylesheet with xsl:text as its root is deleted, namespace URLs can be freed while the exclPrefixTab table retains references to them. Crafted XSLT can trigger access to these stale references, causing memory corruption, process termination, or potentially arbitrary code execution within the affected application. Applications using vulnerable bundled libxslt versions, including Nokogiri before 1.18.4, are also affected.
