Summary

Redis is an in-memory database with disk persistence that is affected by a vulnerability allowing a specially crafted Lua script to cause a heap overflow in the cjson library. This can result in heap corruption and may enable remote code execution, impacting only authenticated and authorized users. The issue has been addressed in Redis versions 7.0.12, 6.2.13, and 6.0.20, making it crucial for users to promptly update their software to mitigate potential risks.

Affected Version(s)

redis >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.12 < 7.0.0, 7.0.12

redis >= 6.2.0, < 6.2.13 < 6.2.0, 6.2.13

redis >= 6.0.0, < 6.0.20 < 6.0.0, 6.0.20

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
