Fixed In Version: redis 6.2.6, redis 6.0.16, redis 5.0.14
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
An integer overflow issue was found in redis in the underlying string library. The vulnerability involves changing the default "proto-max-bulk-len" configuration parameter to a very large value and constructing specially crafted network payloads or commands. This flaw allows a remote attacker to corrupt the heap and potentially trigger remote code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-10-05 18:52:11 UTC 
Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. An integer overflow bug in the underlying string library can be used to corrupt the heap and potentially result with denial of service or remote code execution. The vulnerability involves changing the default proto-max-bulk-len configuration parameter to a very large value and constructing specially crafted network payloads or commands. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 6.2.6, 6.0.16 and 5.0.14. An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from modifying the proto-max-bulk-len configuration parameter. This can be done using ACL to restrict unprivileged users from using the CONFIG SET command.
