DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Quota accounting bypass in Coturn TURN/STUN server prior to 4.17.0 allows authenticated remote clients to exhaust relay ports by repeatedly creating and disconnecting mobility-enabled allocations. The shutdown_client_connection() function in src/server/ns_turn_server.c prematurely releases the user and total quota charge during the first-stage mobility close while the allocation, relay socket, session, and mobility ticket remain alive, making --user-quota and --total-quota enforcement ineffective. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Recon
Obtain valid TURN credentials
Delivery
Open TCP connection with MOBILITY-enabled Allocate request
Exploit
Server allocates UDP relay port and charges quota
Install
Close TCP connection triggering first-stage mobility close
C2
Server releases quota counter but retains relay port
Execute
Repeat loop to accumulate relay ports beyond quota limits
Impact
Relay port pool exhausted, legitimate clients denied (508)

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two explicit conditions: the Coturn server must be started with the `--mobility` flag enabled (a non-default, operator-configured feature), and the attacker must possess valid TURN credentials accepted by the server's `--user` or credential store. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately captures the attack profile: network-accessible, low complexity, but gated behind authenticated TURN credentials. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with valid TURN credentials connects to a Coturn server running with `--mobility` enabled, issues an Allocate request over TCP with the MOBILITY attribute set and REQUESTED-TRANSPORT UDP, then immediately closes the TCP connection. The server performs the first-stage mobility close, releases the quota counter, but retains the live relay port. …
Remediation Upgrade Coturn to version 4.17.0, which addresses the premature `dec_quota()` call in `shutdown_client_connection()`. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
