 (CVE-2022-24834)

 SeungHyun Lee discovered that Redis incorrectly handled specially crafted commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an integer overflow, which might cause Redis to allocate impossible amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service via an application crash. (CVE-2022-35977)

 Tom Levy discovered that Redis incorrectly handled crafted string matching patterns. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Redis to hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-36021)

 Yupeng Yang discovered that Redis incorrectly handled specially crafted commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an integer overflow, resulting in a denial of service via an application crash. (CVE-2023-25155)

 It was discovered that Redis incorrectly handled a specially crafted command. An attacker could possibly use this issue to create an invalid hash field, which could potentially cause Redis to crash on future access. (CVE-2023-28856)

 Alexander Aleksandrovi Klimov discovered that Redis incorrectly listened to a Unix socket before setting proper permissions. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to connect, bypassing intended permissions. (CVE-2023-45145)

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

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