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.
