Descriptions

Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. In Redit 7.0 prior to 7.0.12, extracting key names from a command and a list of arguments may, in some cases, trigger a heap overflow and result in reading random heap memory, heap corruption and potentially remote code execution. Several scenarios that may lead to authenticated users executing a specially crafted `COMMAND GETKEYS` or `COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS`and authenticated users who were set with ACL rules that match key names, executing a specially crafted command that refers to a variadic list of key names. The vulnerability is patched in Redis 7.0.12.

This update for redis7 fixes the following issues. Fixed heap overflow in the cjson and cmsgpack libraries. Fixed HINCRBYFLOAT invalid key crash. Fixed integer overflow via Specially crafted SRANDMEMBER, ZRANDMEMBER, and HRANDFIELD. Fixed Integer Overflow in RAND commands. Fixed denial-of-service via Specially crafted MSETNX command. Fixed heap overflow in COMMAND GETKEYS and ACL evaluation.
