Debian DLA-2522-1 : coturn security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 144924

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was discovered in coturn, a TURN and STUN server for VoIP. By default coturn does not allow peers on the loopback addresses (127.x.x.x and ::1). A remote attacker can bypass the protection via a specially crafted request using a peer address of '0.0.0.0' and trick coturn in relaying to the loopback interface. If listening on IPv6 the loopback interface can also be reached by using either [::1] or [::] as the address.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.0.5-1+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your coturn packages.

For the detailed security status of coturn please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/coturn

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected coturn package.
