Hi,

Several security fixes [1][2][3][4][5] have been committed to the libxslt repository since the last release, but a new release doesn't seem to be planned soon. So of them are only DoS material but one [5] at least can lead to arbitrary code execution and has been assigned CVE-2017-5029. The libxslt package has been updated to backport most of those fixes, and it would be nice if the lib32-xslt package could follow the lead.

Thanks!
