"Several stack exhaustion conditions were found in mxml that can easily
crash when parsing xml files.

CVE-2016-4570

The mxmlDelete function in mxml-node.c allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via crafted xml file.

CVE-2016-4571

The mxml_write_node function in mxml-file.c allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via crafted xml file

CVE-2018-20004

A stack-based buffer overflow in mxml_write_node via vectors involving
a double-precision floating point number.
