In libxslt versions before 1.1.43, a use-after-free vulnerability exists due to improper handling of the XPath context node during nested XPath evaluations. When the context node is modified but not restored, it leads to a use-after-free issue. This affects functions like xsltNumberFormatGetValue, xsltEvalXPathPredicate, xsltEvalXPathStringNs, and xsltComputeSortResultInternal.
