Integer overflow in the getnum function in lua_struct.c in Redis 2.8.x before 2.8.24 and 3.0.x before 3.0.6 allows context-dependent attackers with permission to run Lua code in a Redis session to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly bypass intended sandbox restrictions via a large number, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

The version of Redis installed on the remote host is affected by a remote denial of service (DoS) and therefore requires a security update.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201702-16 (Redis: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Redis. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, able to connect to a Redis instance, could issue       malicious commands possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for redis fixes the following security issue :

  - CVE-2015-8080: Fixed an integer overflow resulting in     stack-based overflow. (bsc#954199)

Luca Bruno discovered an integer overflow flaw leading to a stack-based buffer overflow in redis, a persistent key-value database.
A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause a denial of service (application crash).
