+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Propagate error in xmlParseElementChildrenContentDeclPriv
+
+Check return value of recursive calls to
+xmlParseElementChildrenContentDeclPriv and return immediately in case
+of errors. Otherwise, struct xmlElementContent could contain unexpected
+null pointers, leading to a null deref when post-validating documents
+which aren't well-formed and parsed in recovery mode.
+
+Fixes #243.
+
+CVE: CVE-2021-3537
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/babe75030c7f64a37826bb3342317134568bef61]
