Package : libxslt Version : 1.1.32-2.2~deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2019-5815 CVE-2021-30560

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libxslt, an XSLT processing runtime library, that could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malicious files are processed.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.32-2.2~deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxslt packages.
