Subject: [PATCH] xml2: don't crash on namespace nodes in xpath_nodeset()
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 02:24:40 +0300

pgxmlNodeSetToText() passed nodeTab[i]->doc to xmlNodeDump() without checking
the node type.  Namespace-axis results are XML_NAMESPACE_DECL nodes (xmlNs
structs cast to xmlNodePtr) whose ->doc field is out of bounds, so xmlNodeDump()
dereferenced a bogus pointer and crashed the backend.  Render such nodes with
xmlXPathCastNodeToString() instead, as xpath_table() already does.
