Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in decode_oauth_token_gcm() when processing an attacker-supplied OAuth access token. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted STUN packet containing a crafted OAuth access token to cause a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Only servers started with the --oauth mode are vulnerable, and exploitation occurs before AES-GCM authentication is verified.
