Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5081 advisory.

 - It was discovered, that redis, a persistent key-value database, due to a packaging issue, is prone to a (Debian-specific) Lua sandbox escape, which could result in remote code execution. (CVE-2022-0543)
