CVE-2026-73213Coturn: `addr_less_eq()` does a component-wise IPv6 comparison instead of a lexicographic one, letting an authenticated TURN client bypass `denied-peer-ip`/`allowed-peer-ip` IPv6 ranges (TURN-specific SSRF)

Official description
Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.16.0, addr_less_eq() in src/client/ns_turn_ioaddr.c uses a component-wise comparison for native IPv6 min-max intervals in ioa_addr_in_range(), allowing an authenticated TURN client to relay to an IPv6 peer that is numerically within a configured non-prefix-aligned denied-peer-ip range but is classified as outside it. This issue is fixed in version 4.16.0.
