Debian DLA-1161-1 : redis security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 104399

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a 'Cross Protocol Scripting' attack in the Redis key-value database.

'POST' and 'Host:' command strings (which are not valid in the Redis protocol) were not immediately rejected when an attacker makes HTTP request to the Redis TCP port.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in redis version 2:2.4.14-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected redis-server package.
