Low: redis security and bug fix update

Published Nov 15, 2022 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Summary

Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data-structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. For performance, Redis works with an in-memory data set. You can persist it either by dumping the data set to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log.

Security Fix(es):

* redis: Code injection via Lua script execution environment (CVE-2022-24735)
* redis: Malformed Lua script can crash Redis (CVE-2022-24736)

    Lua scripts can be manipulated to overcome ACL rules in Redis

    Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. By exploiting weaknesses in the Lua script execution environment, an attacker with access to Redis prior to version 7.0.0 or 6.2.7 can inject Lua code that will execute with the (potentially higher) privil…

    A Malformed Lua script can crash Redis

    Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Prior to versions 6.2.7 and 7.0.0, an attacker attempting to load a specially crafted Lua script can cause NULL pointer dereference which will result with a crash of the redis-server process. The problem i…
