Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.10.0, the STUN/TURN attribute parsing functions in coturn perform unsafe pointer casts from uint8_t * to uint16_t * without alignment checks. When processing a crafted STUN message with odd-aligned attribute boundaries, this results in misaligned memory reads at ns_turn_msg.c. On ARM64 architectures (AArch64) with strict alignment enforcement, this causes a SIGBUS signal that immediately kills the turnserver process. An unauthenticated remote attacker can crash any ARM64 coturn deployment by sending a single crafted UDP packet. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.10.0.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Coturn is commonly configured to
    block loopback and internal ranges using "denied-peer-ip" and/or default loopback restrictions.
    CVE-2020-26262 addressed bypasses involving "0.0.0.0", "[::1]" and "[::]", but IPv4-mapped IPv6 is not
    covered. When sending a "CreatePermission" or "ChannelBind" request with the "XOR-PEER-ADDRESS" value of
    "::ffff:127.0.0.1", a successful response is received, even though "127.0.0.0/8" is blocked via "denied-
    peer-ip". The root cause is that, prior to the updated fix implemented in version 4.9.0, three functions
    in "src/client/ns_turn_ioaddr.c" do not check "IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED". "ioa_addr_is_loopback()" checks
    "127.x.x.x" (AF_INET) and "::1" (AF_INET6), but not "::ffff:127.0.0.1." "ioa_addr_is_zero()" checks
    "0.0.0.0" and "::", but not "::ffff:0.0.0.0." "addr_less_eq()" used by "ioa_addr_in_range()" for "denied-
    peer-ip" matching: when the range is AF_INET and the peer is AF_INET6, the comparison returns 0 without
    extracting the embedded IPv4. Version 4.9.0 contains an updated fix to address the bypass of the fix for
    CVE-2020-26262. (CVE-2026-27624)

The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-e673311164 advisory.

    # Coturn 4.10.0

    ## Performance
      * Add Linux-only `recvmmsg` client receive path for DTLS/UDP listener
      * Skip response buffer allocation for STUN indications
      * Remove mutex from per-thread `super_memory` allocator
      * Eliminate mutex and reduce copies on auth message dispatch
      * Replace `mutex_bps` with lock-free atomics for bandwidth tracking
      * Remove unused mutex from `ur_map` structure
      * WebRTC Auth optimization path
      * Improve worst case scenario - avoid memory allocation

    ## Memory issues
      * Fix null pointer dereferences in `post_parse()`
      * Fix stack buffer overflow in OAuth token decoding
      * Fix `uint16_t` truncation overflow in `stun_get_message_len_str()`
      * Initialize variables before use

    ## Security
      * CVE-2026-40613 Misaligned Memory Access STUN Attribute Parser

    ## General Improvements
      * Disable reason string in response messages to reduce amplification factor
      * Keep only `NEV_UDP_SOCKET_PER_THREAD` network engine
      * Replace perror with logging
      * Extend seed corpus and add more fuzzing scenarios
      * Update config and Readme files about deprecated TLSv1/1.1
      * Restore RFC 3489 (old STUN) backward compatibility broken since 4.7.0
      * Change port identifiers to use `uint16_t`
      * Fixes: `run_tests.sh` and no db
      * Improve `PostgreSQL.md` clarity
      * Add session usage reporting callback to TURN database driver
      * CLI interface is disabled by default
