Description Adam Mariš 2016-10-03 13:40:27 UTC 
An out of bounds write vulnerability was found in the handling of the client-output-buffer-limit option during the CONFIG SET command for the Redis data structure store. A crafted CONFIG SET command can lead to an out of bounds write potentially resulting in code execution.
