Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libxml2.

CVE-2026-0989[0]:
| A flaw was identified in the RelaxNG parser of libxml2 related to
| how external schema inclusions are handled. The parser does not
| enforce a limit on inclusion depth when resolving nested <include>
| directives. Specially crafted or overly complex schemas can cause
| excessive recursion during parsing. This may lead to stack
| exhaustion and application crashes, creating a denial-of-service
| risk.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
