A recent Debian Security Advisory (DSA-5979-2) has been released to address a regression in the libxslt package, which was introduced by a prior update. This issue pertains to the deterministic implementation of the generate-id function, leading to generated IDs being output in a non-deterministic order. The problem has been resolved in the following versions: 1.1.35-1+deb12u3 for Debian GNU/Linux 12 (Bookworm) and 1.1.35-1.2+deb13u2 for Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie).
The advisory highlights the importance of upgrading the libxslt packages to ensure the functionality of the deterministic generate-id feature is restored. Users are encouraged to check the security status of libxslt via the Debian security tracker for comprehensive details.
For more information on applying these updates or for frequently asked questions, users can visit the official Debian security webpage.
In addition to these updates, it is crucial for users to stay informed about potential regressions in software updates. Regularly reviewing security advisories and keeping systems updated not only enhances security but also ensures that software functions as intended. Debian's commitment to addressing vulnerabilities promptly underscores the importance of maintaining system integrity and reliability for users and administrators alike
