CVE-2019-13118
In numbers.c in libxslt 1.1.33, a type holding grouping characters of an xsl:number instruction was too narrow and an invalid character/length combination could be passed to xsltNumberFormatDecimal, leading to a read of uninitialized stack data.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
