Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5001 advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Redis, a persistent key-value database, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 5:5.0.14-1+deb10u1. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 5:6.0.16-1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.
For the detailed security status of redis please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/redis

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the redis packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 5
