Summary:
Redis could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic from an authenticated user.
Software Description:
- redis: Persistent key-value database with network interface
Details:
Benny Isaacs, Nir Brakha, and Sagi Tzadik discovered that Redis incorrectly
handled memory when running Lua scripts. An authenticated attacker could
use this vulnerability to trigger a use-after-free condition, and
potentially achieve remote code execution on the Redis server.
