CVE ID         : CVE-2019-18197
Debian Bug     : 942646

A security vulnerability was discovered in libxslt, a XSLT 1.0
processing library written in C.

In xsltCopyText in transform.c, a pointer variable is not reset under
certain circumstances. If the relevant memory area happened to be freed
and reused in a certain way, a bounds check could fail and memory
outside a buffer could be written to, or uninitialized data could be
disclosed.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.1.28-2+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxslt packages.
