+Fix https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/work_items/1124
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-11979
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/c2e233fc1b341685fc99621b2768b503f777a72e]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- The commit modifies test/catalogs/test.sh.
+- test/catalogs/test.sh does not exist in the libxml2 v2.12.10
+  source used in Scarthgap and was introduced later version
+  libxml2 v2.14.0 [1].
+- The test changes were omitted; only the required fix in
+  xmlcatalog.c was backported.
+
