Description
A vulnerability in Golang 1.10 affects the childTextNodesAreLiteral function, where the parser's tree-walking logic stops prematurely at the nearest foreign ancestor upon encountering an HTML integration point. This can cause incorrect namespace resolution when re-parsing rendered output, potentially leading to improper handling of literal text in certain XML/HTML contexts.
