Описание
Uncontrolled recursion in XPath evaluation in libxml2 up to and including version 2.9.14 allows a local attacker to cause a stack overflow via crafted expressions. XPath processing functions `xmlXPathRunEval`, `xmlXPathCtxtCompile`, and `xmlXPathEvalExpr` were resetting recursion depth to zero before making potentially recursive calls. When such functions were called recursively this could allow for uncontrolled recursion and lead to a stack overflow. These functions now preserve recursion depth across recursive calls, allowing recursion depth to be controlled.

Fixed by: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/677a42645ef22b5a50741bad5facf9d8a8bc6d21 (v2.10.0)
Test fixes in libxslt: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/commit/b7994c3b7ab83b502f4298ab4abb10fb183f7ed4 (v1.1.36)
libxml2/2.14.5+dfsg-0.1 is actually not the earliest version in unstable
with the fix, but later on the version got reverted to 2.9.14 based one.
