Debian DSA-3279-1 : redis - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 84024

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that redis, a persistent key-value database, could execute insecure Lua bytecode by way of the EVAL command. This could allow remote attackers to break out of the Lua sandbox and execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the redis packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.8.17-1+deb8u1.
