CVE-2021-28302  12.03.21 16:15
A stack overflow in pupnp 1.16.1 can cause the denial of service
through the Parser_parseDocument() function. ixmlNode_free() will
release a child node recursively, which will consume stack space and
lead to a crash.

Upstream did not provide a patch yet, see <
https://github.com/pupnp/pupnp/issues/249>.

I suggest we wait for the patch to be made and then update, to be
monitored.
