CVE-2026-73215: The coturn server can end in a state where it does not accept more requests with "even-port" enabled.

Published Aug 11, 2026

Updated

Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.17.0, turnportsallocateeven() in src/apps/relay/turnports.c marks the unused odd sibling port as TPSTAKENODD for an EVEN-PORT Allocate request with reservation bit R=0 even though no RTCP socket will release it, allowing an authenticated client to permanently exhaust the relay port pool and cause subsequent allocations to fail with STUN error 508. This issue is fixed in version 4.17.0.
