    Debian Bug     : 1029400

    HTML::StripScripts, a module for removing scripts from HTML, allows
    _hss_attval_style ReDoS because of catastrophic backtracking for HTML
    content with certain style attributes.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.06-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libhtml-stripscripts-perl packages.
