Test script:
---------------
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('sitemap.xml');

if ($dom->documentElement) {
    if ($spaceNode = $dom->documentElement->getAttributeNode('xmlns')) {
      print_r($spaceNode,1);
    }
}
?>

with sitemap.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="fooooooooooooooooooooo">
</urlset>

Expected result:
----------------
No segfault, possibly an error or warning.

Affects PHP 5.6.11 as well as 7.0-rc1

Confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/p5Jmb>. Additionally, accessing the
parentNode of such an attribute node also segfaults, see
<https://3v4l.org/FuH85>.

It appears the culprit is in DomElement::getAttributeNode()[1].
The _private member is supposed to hold a dom_object*, but is
later assigned to the parent member of the new xmlNode. Changing
the code respectively would prevent the segfault and give a
reasonable result, but leaks memory (valgrind).

Actually the culprit is dom_get_dom1_attribute()[1], which may
cast pointers to xmlNs[2] to pointers to xmlNode[3], although
these types are incompatible.
