if (!(sock = RCALLOC(sizeof(nr_socket_buffered_stun))))
    ABORT(R_NO_MEMORY);

  sock->inner = inner;

...

  if (_status) {
    void *sock_v = sock;
    sock->inner = 0;  /* Give up ownership so we don't destroy */
    nr_socket_buffered_stun_destroy(&sock_v);
  }

We need if (sock)  around sock->inner
Credit to Sylvestre Ledru for static analysis that caught this.
This is a potential null-deref in OOM, that doesn't appear to be a sec issue to me.

This is an odd change. Why are you calling nr_socket_buffered_stun_destroy() on a pointer you know points to NULL? It's safe, but silly.

You should put the entire destructor clause inside the if (sock).
removed checkin-needed because of c6
