Descriptions

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. An integer overflow bug in Redis 6.2 before 6.2.3 could be exploited to corrupt the heap and potentially result with remote code execution. Redis 6.0 and earlier are not directly affected by this issue. The problem is fixed in version 6.2.3. An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the `redis-server` executable is to prevent users from modifying the `set-max-intset-entries` configuration parameter. This can be done using ACL to restrict unprivileged users from using the `CONFIG SET` command.

Redis es una estructura de datos en memoria de código abierto (con licencia BSD) almacenado, utilizado como base de datos, caché y agente de mensajes. Un bug de desbordamiento de enteros en Redis versiones 6.2 anteriores a 6.2.3, podría ser explotada para corromper la pila y potencialmente resultar en una ejecución de código remota. Redis versiones 6.0 y anteriores no están directamente afectadas por este problema. El problema es corregido en la versión 6.2.3. Una solución alternativa para mitigar el problema sin parchear el ejecutable "redis-server" es impedir que los usuarios modifiquen el parámetro de configuración "set-max-intset-entries". Esto puede realizarse usando la ACL para restringir que los usuarios no privilegiados usen el comando "CONFIG SET"

A flaw was found in redis. An integer overflow bug could be exploited to corrupt the heap and potentially result with remote code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
