How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libxslt to version 1.1.28-2+deb8u5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt package and not the libxslt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
