Debian DLA-577-1 : redis security update

low Nessus Plugin ID 92640

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that the redis-cli tool in redis (an in-memory key-value database) created world-readable history files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in redis version 2:2.4.14-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected redis-server package.
