"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.17.0,
shutdown_client_connection() in src/server/ns_turn_server.c prematurely calls dec_quota() and releases
bandwidth accounting during the first-stage close of a mobility-enabled allocation while preserving the
allocation, relay socket, session, and mobility ticket, allowing an authenticated client to bypass --user-
quota and --total-quota and exhaust relay ports. This issue is fixed in version 4.17.0. (CVE-2026-73216)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
