A fix for this vulnerability is available in commit 11fc465f4bba70bb0ad8aae17d6c4a63a29917d9. Users should upgrade to a version that includes this commit or later to mitigate the issue. No other mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

Coturn versions 4.6.2r5 through 4.7.0-r4 suffer from a flawed random number generator used for nonces and port randomization. The random numbers are generated using libc's random() instead of OpenSSL's RAND_bytes, making it possible for an attacker to reconstruct the RNG state by observing about 50 sequential nonces. This enables prediction of future nonces and relay ports, allowing authentication bypass with IP spoofing if credentials are known. A fix is available in commit 11fc465f4bba70bb0ad8aae17d6c4a63a29917d9.
