+Subject: [PATCH] Propagate error in xmlParseElementChildrenContentDeclPriv
+
+Check return value of recursive calls to
+xmlParseElementChildrenContentDeclPriv and return immediately in case
+of errors. Otherwise, struct xmlElementContent could contain unexpected
+null pointers, leading to a null deref when post-validating documents
+which aren't well-formed and parsed in recovery mode.
+
+Fixes #243.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
