Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-68552

medium Nessus Plugin ID 338663

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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 4.15.0, an unauthenticated remote client can send a STUN message over TCP or TLS with a body-length field from 65520 through 65532, causing the uint16_t len variable in stun_get_message_len_str() in src/client/ns_turn_msg.c to wrap when STUN_HEADER_LENGTH is added. The framing layer then consumes only 4 through 16 bytes, treats the remaining bytes as another message, desynchronizes the stream parser, and drops the attacking client's connection.
 Other clients and the server process are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 4.15.0.
 (CVE-2026-68552)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
