CWE-476 NULL pointer dereference in valid.c:772

Hi, I found a vulnerability in current master 5465a8e5, and I also reproduced it on v2.9.10.

There is another CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference in library in xmlValidBuildAContentModel, it can be triggered by different payload.

Thank you.

PoC:

poc.gz

To reproduce:

CFLAGS='-g -fsanitize=address' ./configure
make

./xmllint --recover --postvalid ./poc

ASAN report:
