CVE-2026-68553

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.13.0, an authenticated TURN user can place printf-style format specifiers in the STUN USERNAME or REALM attribute, which passes is_secure_string() validation and is embedded into Redis keys at nine call sites in src/apps/relay/ns_ioalib_engine_impl.c. send_message_to_redis() in src/apps/relay/hiredis_libevent2.c then passes the attacker-controlled key as the format argument to redisAsyncCommand() while supplying only one variadic value, causing hiredis redisvFormatCommand() to read past the va_list. Exploitation can crash the coturn process and terminate active TURN sessions or disclose stack memory into Redis. This issue is fixed in version 4.13.0.

      "value": "Coturn es una implementación gratuita de código abierto de servidor TURN y STUN. Antes de 4.13.0, un usuario TURN autenticado puede colocar especificadores de formato estilo printf en el atributo STUN USERNAME o REALM, lo que pasa la validación de is_secure_string() y se incrusta en las claves de Redis en nueve sitios de llamada en src/apps/relay/ns_ioalib_engine_impl.c. send_message_to_redis() en src/apps/relay/hiredis_libevent2.c luego pasa la clave controlada por el atacante como argumento de formato a redisAsyncCommand() mientras suministra solo un valor variádico, lo que hace que hiredis redisvFormatCommand() lea más allá de la va_list. La explotación puede bloquear el proceso de coturn y terminar las sesiones TURN activas o divulgar la memoria de la pila en Redis. Este problema se corrige en la versión 4.13.0."
