Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2012-2871 low priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (chromium-browser, libxslt), 14 status rows across 7 suites (hardy, lucid, natty, oneiric, precise, quantal, upstream): released 10, DNE 1, ignored 1, needs-triage 1, not-affected 1.
libxml2 2.9.0-rc1 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89, does not properly support a cast of an unspecified variable during handling of XSL transforms, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted document, related to the _xmlNs data structure in include/libxml/tree.h.
