NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxslt-python package and not the libxslt-python package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libxslt 1.1.29 and earlier, the EXSLT math.random function was not initialized with a random seed during startup, which could cause usage of this function to produce predictable outputs.
