Hi,

it was discovered that libxml2 does not well process a malformed XPATH,
causing crash and allowing arbitrary code execution.

Patch:

Interestingly none of the above commits talk about crash and arbitrary
code execution. Is there a working test case available somewhere?

Anyways, that would need a backport for stable, and maybe testing,
depending how the release team feels about 2.7.8.
