The reference counts of the internal document pointer are mismanaged. In the case of fragments the refcount may be increased too much, while for other cases the document reference may not be applied to all children. This bug existed for a long time and this doesn't reproduce (easily) on 8.2 due to other bugs. Furthermore 8.2 will enter security mode soon, and this change may be too risky.

I feel like I get the spirit of the change, but not exactly how it achieves this.
But then I've never dug into the internals of libxml

It moves all document setting operations to one place where each child gets changed at most once, fixing both the issues. Previously fragments could cause a child to be updated twice, and it would also only change direct descendants and not indirect descendants. |
