Descriptions

Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Authenticated users issuing specially crafted `SETRANGE` and `SORT(_RO)` commands can trigger an integer overflow, resulting with Redis attempting to allocate impossible amounts of memory and abort with an out-of-memory (OOM) panic. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 7.0.8, 6.2.9 and 6.0.17. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Redis es una base de datos en memoria que persiste en el disco. Los usuarios autenticados que emiten comandos `SETRANGE` y `SORT(_RO)` especialmente manipulados pueden desencadenar un desbordamiento de enteros, lo que hace que Redis intente asignar cantidades imposibles de memoria y aborte con un pánico de falta de memoria (OOM). El problema se solucionó en las versiones 7.0.8, 6.2.9 y 6.0.17 de Redis. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen soluciones para esta vulnerabilidad.

A flaw was found in Redis, an in-memory database that persists on disk. This flaw allows authenticated users to issue specially crafted `SETRANGE` and `SORT(_RO)` commands to trigger an integer overflow, resulting in Redis attempting to allocate impossible amounts of memory and abort with an out-of-memory (OOM) panic.

Seiya Nakata and Yudai Fujiwara discovered that Redis incorrectly handled certain specially crafted Lua scripts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause heap corruption and execute arbitrary code. SeungHyun Lee discovered that Redis incorrectly handled specially crafted commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an integer overflow, which might cause Redis to allocate impossible amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service via an application crash.
