RHEL 9 : redis (Unpatched Vulnerability)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202287

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 9 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - redis: heap overflow in the lua cjson and cmsgpack libraries (CVE-2022-24834)

 - redis: crash in sigsegvHandler debug function (CVE-2022-3647)

 - Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Authenticated users issuing specially crafted `SETRANGE` and `SORT(_RO)` commands can trigger an integer overflow, resulting with Redis attempting to allocate impossible amounts of memory and abort with an out-of-memory (OOM) panic. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 7.0.8, 6.2.9 and 6.0.17. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-35977)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
