dbus-fast is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)

Medium Risk
This Affects:
dbus-fastTL;DR
The introspection XML parser in introspection.py recursively parses nested <node> elements via Node.from_xml without bounding the recursion depth. Introspection XML is parsed from the reply to an org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect call, so a hostile or buggy peer can return a document with deeply nested <node> elements and exhaust the Python (or C) stack, crashing the consuming process. The fix routes parsing through Node._from_xml with a depth counter and raises InvalidIntrospectionError once nesting exceeds _MAX_NODE_DEPTH (32).
