Official Description
Sun Java System Application Server and Web Server 7.0 through 9.0 before 20070710 do not properly process XSLT stylesheets in XSLT transforms in XML signatures, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute an arbitrary Java method via a crafted stylesheet, a related issue to CVE-2007-3716.
