* Parameterize SQLite user-DB driver queries (eliminate SQL injection class) The SQLite driver built every statement with snprintf, interpolating caller-supplied values directly into the SQL text before sqlite3_prepare. That left every value-carrying query injectable (the admin-panel delete paths fixed in GHSA-v8hj-2xx7-xmp5 were the reachable instances; this removes the underlying class for this backend). Add a sqlite_prepare_bind() helper that prepares a statement using '?' placeholders and binds the values as text parameters, and route all value-carrying statements through it: users, secrets, origins, realm options, oauth keys, permission IPs, and admin users. Values never enter the SQL text again. The only remaining interpolation is the peer-ip table name (allowed/denied), which cannot be a bound parameter and is already validated against that whitelist by the caller; its realm/ip values are now bound. Static, parameter-free statements are unchanged. oauth timestamp/lifetime were previously rendered as numeric literals; they are now formatted to decimal text and bound. The oauth_key columns have integer affinity, so SQLite stores the bound text as the same integer and reads it back identically (verified). Add tests/test_sqlite_dbd.c: an interface test that drives the driver's public vtable against a throwaway database, covering every converted entry point plus a SQL-injection regression test. Run against the old string-interpolated driver the seven behavioral tests pass unchanged (parity) while the injection test fails (a boolean payload in del_user deletes a whole realm's users); against the new driver all eight pass. The driver is compiled in isolation via a small support/stub layer (tests/test_sqlite_support.*) so the suite needs no running server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Parameterize PostgreSQL user-DB driver queries (eliminate SQL injection class) Like the SQLite driver, dbd_pgsql.c built every statement with snprintf, interpolating caller-supplied values into the SQL text and running it via PQexec -- which on PostgreSQL also permits stacked queries, the highest- impact instance of GHSA-v8hj-2xx7-xmp5. Add a pq_exec_params() helper around PQexecParams and route all value-carrying statements through it with $1,$2,... placeholders and the values passed as out-of-band text parameters: users, secrets, origins, realm options, oauth keys, permission IPs, and admin users. Values never enter the SQL text. The only remaining interpolation is the peer-ip table name (allowed/denied), which cannot be a bound parameter and is already whitelisted by the caller; its realm/ip values are now bound. Static, parameter-free SELECTs keep using PQexec. oauth timestamp/lifetime and the realm-option value were numeric literals; they are now formatted to decimal text and bound (PostgreSQL casts them to the column's integer type, preserving behavior). Add tests/test_pgsql_dbd.c with a link-seam libpq mock (test_pgsql_stub.c) that captures each emitted command, whether it was parameterized, and the bound parameter values -- so the driver is unit-tested with no server. The tests assert every operation emits a parameterized query with caller values bound out-of-band, and test_sql_injection_neutralized asserts a boolean payload travels as a bound value, never as SQL text. Run against the old driver all of these fail (it calls PQexec with values interpolated and binds nothing); against the new driver all pass. Relay-side stubs are reused from test_sqlite_support.c. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Parameterize MySQL user-DB driver with prepared statements (eliminate SQL injection class) dbd_mysql.c built every statement with snprintf and ran it via mysql_query(), interpolating caller-supplied values into the SQL text -- the same SQL injection class fixed for SQLite and PostgreSQL, now closed for the MySQL backend. Convert the whole driver to the prepared-statement API. Two helpers carry the risk: - my_exec() prepares an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, binds text params, executes; - my_query_rows() prepares a SELECT, binds text params and text result columns, and invokes a per-row callback (replacing mysql_query + mysql_store_result + mysql_fetch_row). Every value-carrying statement now uses '?' placeholders with values bound out-of-band; the read paths get small row callbacks. The only remaining interpolation is the peer-ip table name (allowed/denied), which cannot be a bound parameter and is already whitelisted by the caller; its realm/ip values are bound. oauth timestamp/lifetime and the realm-option value are formatted to decimal text and bound (MySQL casts to the column's integer type). Add tests/test_mysql_dbd.c with a link-seam libmysqlclient mock (test_mysql_stub.c) that captures the prepared SQL and bound parameters, and can feed one canned result row so the read paths' bind-result/fetch handling is exercised (get_user_key, get_oauth_key, get_admin_user, get_auth_secrets all round-trip). The mock also implements the classic mysql_query/store_result API so the suite links and runs against the old driver: there every test fails ("got mysql_query()") while all pass against the new one, and test_sql_injection_neutralized asserts a boolean payload travels as a bound value. Relay-side stubs are reused from test_sqlite_support.c (with ur_string_map_free added there).

- RFC 6336 – ICE–IANA Registry
- RFC 6544 – ICE–TCP
- RFC 5928 - TURN Resolution Mechanism
The implementation fully supports the following client-to-TURN-server protocols:
- UDP (per RFC 5766)
- TCP (per RFC 5766 and RFC 6062)
- TLS (per RFC 5766 and RFC 6062): including TLS1.3; ECDHE is supported.
- DTLS1.0 and DTLS1.2 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-petithuguenin-tram-turn-dtls-00)
- SCTP (experimental implementation).
Relay protocols:
User databases (for user repository, with passwords or keys, if authentication is required):
- SQLite
- MariaDB/MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- MongoDB
Management interfaces:
- telnet cli
- HTTPS interface
Monitoring:
- Redis can be used for status and statistics storage and notification
- prometheus interface (unavailable on apt package)
Message integrity digest algorithms:
- HMAC-SHA1, with MD5-hashed keys (as required by STUN and TURN standards)
TURN authentication mechanisms:
- 'classic' long-term credentials mechanism;
- TURN REST API (a modification of the long-term mechanism, for time-limited secret-based authentication, for WebRTC applications: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-uberti-behave-turn-rest-00);
- experimental third-party oAuth-based client authorization option;
Performance and Load Balancing:
When used as a part of an ICE solution, for VoIP connectivity, this TURN server can handle thousands simultaneous calls per CPU (when TURN protocol is used) or tens of thousands calls when only STUN protocol is used. For virtually unlimited scalability a load balancing scheme can be used. The load balancing can be implemented with the following tools (either one or a combination of them):
- DNS SRV based load balancing;
- built-in 300 ALTERNATE-SERVER mechanism (requires 300 response support by the TURN client);
- network load-balancer server.
Traffic bandwidth limitation and congestion avoidance algorithms implemented.
Target platforms:
- Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, CentOS, Fedora, Redhat, Amazon Linux, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE)
- BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD)
- Solaris 11
- Mac OS X
- Cygwin (for non-production R&D purposes)
- Windows (native with, e.g., MSVC toolchain)
This project can be successfully used on other *NIX platforms, too, but that is not officially supported.
The implementation is supposed to be simple, easy to install and configure. The project focuses on performance, scalability and simplicity. The aim is to provide an enterprise-grade TURN solution.
To achieve high performance and scalability, the TURN server is implemented with the following features:
- On linux platform, where available, UDP high throughput is achieved through recvmmsg/sendmmsg/GSO combination
- High-performance industrial-strength Network IO engine libevent2 in other cases
- Multiple listening and relay addresses can be configured
- Efficient per-thread memory allocation model is used
- The TURN project code can be used in a custom proprietary networking environment. In the TURN server code, an abstract networking API is used. Only couple files in the project have to be re-written to plug-in the TURN server into a proprietary environment. With this project, only implementation for standard UNIX Networking/IO API is provided, but the user can implement any other environment. The TURN server code was originally developed for a high-performance proprietary corporate environment, then adopted for UNIX Networking API
- The TURN server works as a user space process, without imposing any special requirements on the system
