critical Nessus Plugin ID 210220

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1676 advisory.

Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.

A flaw was discovered in redis that could allow an authenticated user, who was able to use the EVAL command to run Lua code, to break out of the Lua sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2015-4335)

All users of redis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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

Update the affected redis package.
