  - PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in the C language implementing
    standard based protocols such as SIP, SDP, RTP, STUN, TURN, and ICE. In various parts of PJSIP, when
    error/failure occurs, it is found that the function returns without releasing the currently held locks.
    This could result in a system deadlock, which cause a denial of service for the users. No release has yet
    been made which contains the linked fix commit. All versions up to an including 2.11.1 are affected. Users
    may need to manually apply the patch. (CVE-2021-41141)
