+Subject: [PATCH 2/6] fix: add overflow checks to xmlDictAddQString in dict.c
+
+xmlDictAddString has overflow guards for pool size calculations, but its
+sibling xmlDictAddQString lacks these entirely. The namelen + plen + 1
+addition can overflow unsigned int, and 4 * (overflowed_value) produces
+a small allocation, leading to heap buffer overflow when memcpy writes
+the prefix and name.
+
+Add the same SIZE_MAX-based overflow guards and safe size_t cast.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/a4cba4b5b5a8c42e155ed42d2d2a44955465a2e4]
