  - The stringprep module didn't process characters from RFC 3454 tables B.2 or B.3 correctly: the latest
    Unicode codepoint attributes were used instead of the specified Unicode 3.2.0. This behavior would cause
    mismatches when processing domain names using IDNA 2003 (the idna codec) and the in_table_b2() function
    of the stringprep module. This only affects domain names containing characters that were not previously
    registered or had their Unicode attributes such as case-folding behavior updated since Unicode 3.2.0.
    (CVE-2026-17084)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
