Hi,

A security issue has recently been reported [1][2] in libxslt, an integer overflow triggering an out of bounds write likely leading to remote code execution. A fix for the issue has been committed to git [3] but a new version doesn't seem to be planned soon, so it would be nice if we could backport the fix in the meantime.

Thanks!
