Hi CVE-2016-1841 is assigned for libxslt, and the CVE description from MITRE states:
libxslt, as used in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.
Following the references from Apple, this seems to be related to an issue reported by Sebastian Apelt. Recent bug reports and commits related to issues reported by SEbastian Apelt seem to be: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758291 with corresponding upstream commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxslt/commit/?id=fc1ff481fd01e9a65a921c542fed68d8c965e8a3 Is this CVE association correct? Regards, Salvatore
