Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. In 4.15.0, an authenticated TURN user can repeatedly resume one allocation from fresh UDP 5-tuples without completing a handoff when the server enables --mobility. mobile_begin_transition() in src/server/ns_turn_server.c disarms each new session's allocation timeout and overwrites the allocation's single mobile_pending_resume link, leaving earlier pending sessions unreachable by the cleanup path, while copy_auth_parameters() ignores inc_quota() failure. The attacker can therefore retain unbounded server-side sessions and exhaust process memory even when --user-quota=1 is configured. This issue is fixed in version 4.16.0.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion in Coturn 4.15.0 allows an authenticated TURN user to crash or degrade server availability by abusing the RFC 8016 mobility extension (--mobility). The attacker repeatedly resumes a single TURN allocation from fresh UDP 5-tuples without completing handoffs, which overwrites the allocation's sole mobile_pending_resume backlink and orphans prior pending sessions whose cleanup watchdogs have been disarmed - causing unbounded process memory growth. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Two specific conditions must both be satisfied: (1) the target Coturn server must be started with the --mobility flag, which enables RFC 8016 TURN mobility support and is not part of the default configuration - operators must explicitly opt in; and (2) the attacker must possess valid authenticated TURN credentials (CVSS PR:L), either obtained legitimately (e.g., a tenant in a multi-user relay) or through prior credential compromise. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, score 6.5) correctly identifies a network-reachable, low-authentication DoS with high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Coturn to version 4.16.0 (https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/tag/4.16.0), which is the vendor-confirmed patched release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
