When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption. ## Remediation Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges. ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2025:13464** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7 ELS) · released 2025-08-07 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:13464) - **RHSA-2025:15308** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 · released 2025-09-11 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15308) - **RHSA-2026:0934** · Red Hat · fixed in: 8Base-Openshift-Serverless-1.36 · released 2026-01-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:0934) - **RHSA-2025:15672** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 · released 2025-09-18 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15672) - **RHSA-2025:14853** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14853) - **RHSA-2025:14396** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 · released 2025-08-27 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14396) - **RHSA-2025:14858** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14858) - **RHSA-2025:14059** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 · released 2025-08-27 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14059) - **RHSA-2025:14818** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14818) - **RHSA-2025:14819** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19 · released 2025-09-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14819) - **RHSA-2025:15828** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Web Terminal 1.11 on RHEL 9 · released 2025-09-15 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15828) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · updated 2026-09-21 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2025/cve-2025-7425.json)
