DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Format string injection in Coturn prior to 4.13.0 lets an authenticated TURN user crash the relay server or leak stack memory into Redis by embedding printf-style specifiers in STUN USERNAME or REALM attributes. At nine call sites in ns_ioalib_engine_impl.c, attacker-controlled values pass is_secure_string() validation and are embedded into Redis keys; send_message_to_redis() then passes the composite key as the format argument to redisAsyncCommand(), causing redisvFormatCommand() to read past the va_list. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold valid TURN long-term credentials (username and password) for the targeted Coturn instance, corresponding to PR:L in the CVSS vector; unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 7.1 (High) vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: the attack is network-accessible and requires no special complexity beyond holding valid TURN credentials, the availability impact is High because a single crafted request can crash the coturn process and terminate all active TURN sessions, and confidentiality is Low due to stack memory potentially surfacing in Redis. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Coturn 4.13.0 or later, available at https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/tag/4.13.0; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by commit 8fa38032bb4751e11e072d65a8eca3c06c950979 and security advisory GHSA-4g7c-p5wg-j4hp. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all Coturn deployments and confirm versions in use, prioritizing systems running versions before 4.13.0 supporting WebRTC workloads. …
