  - pupnp is an SDK for development of UPnP device and control point applications. Prior to 22.0.4,
    parse_hostport in upnp/src/genlib/net/uri/uri.c synchronously calls getaddrinfo while parse_uri is
    processing attacker-supplied hostnames from inbound HTTP request targets in
    upnp/src/genlib/net/http/httpparser.c and GENA SUBSCRIBE CALLBACK headers handled by create_url_list in
    upnp/src/gena/gena_device.c. A remote unauthenticated peer can choose a slow or nonresponsive hostname and
    block a bounded miniserver worker for the resolver timeout, allowing a small number of requests to exhaust
    the thread pool and deny UPnP service. This issue is fixed in 22.0.4. (CVE-2026-77630)
