FreeBSD : redis,valkey -- Remote code execution valnerability (5f19ac58-cc90-11ef-abed-08002784c58d)

high Nessus Plugin ID 213681

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 5f19ac58-cc90-11ef-abed-08002784c58d advisory.

Redis core team reports:

An authenticated user may use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate the garbage collector and potentially lead to remote code execution. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD 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 packages.
