Amazon Linux 2 : redis (ALASREDIS6-2023-002)

high Nessus Plugin ID 181950

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of redis installed on the remote host is prior to 6.2.13-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2REDIS6-2023-002 advisory.

 A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in Redis. This flaw allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user into executing a specially crafted Lua script in Redis. This attack triggers a heap overflow in the cjson and cmsgpack libraries, resulting in heap corruption and potential remote code execution. (CVE-2022-24834)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update redis' to update your system.
