+Subject: [PATCH] xpointer: Check overflow in xmlXPtrEvalXPtrPart
+
+Fix https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/work_items/1113
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-86142
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/commit/6b3a736c0edc74ceec3d82f5252499d7911b3a58]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Use xmlXPathErr(ctxt, XPATH_MEMORY_ERROR) because the Scarthgap xpointer implementation does not provide the newer xmlXPathPErrMemory() call shape. This preserves the XPath parser error state as well as reporting the allocation failure.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 6b3a736c0edc74ceec3d82f5252499d7911b3a58)
