- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3361-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb March 13, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : redis Version : 5:5.0.14-1+deb10u3 CVE ID : CVE-2022-36021

It was discovered that there was a potential remote denial of service vulnerability in redis, a popular key-value database.

Authenticated users could have used string matching commands (like `SCAN` or `KEYS`) with a specially crafted pattern to trigger a denial-of-service attack, causing it to hang and consume 100% CPU time.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 5:5.0.14-1+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

For the detailed security status of redis please refer to its security tracker page at:
