Description

Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. The redis-cli command line tool and redis-sentinel service may be vulnerable to integer overflow when parsing specially crafted large multi-bulk network replies. This is a result of a vulnerability in the underlying hiredis library which does not perform an overflow check before calling the calloc() heap allocation function. This issue only impacts systems with heap allocators that do not perform their own overflow checks. Most modern systems do and are therefore not likely to be affected. Furthermore, by default redis-sentinel uses the jemalloc allocator which is also not vulnerable. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 6.2.6, 6.0.16 and 5.0.14.

Affected configurations

• redis redis (>= 5.0.0 < 5.0.14) • redis redis (>= 6.0.0 < 6.0.16) • redis redis (>= 6.2.0 < 6.2.6) • debian debian linux 10.0 • debian debian linux 11.0 • fedoraproject fedora 33 • fedoraproject fedora 34 • fedoraproject fedora 35 • netapp management services for element software • netapp management services for netapp hci • oracle communications operations monitor 4.3 • oracle communications operations monitor 4.4 • oracle communications operations monitor 5.0
