It was discovered that there were a number of integer overflow issues in Redis, a persistent 'NoSQL'-style key-value database. It is currently believed that the issues only affect 32-bit based systems.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 3:3.2.6-3+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

For the detailed security status of redis please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/redis

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202103-02 (Redis: Remote code execution)

    It was discovered that there were a number of integer overflow issues in       Redis.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, able to connect to a Redis instance, could send a       malicious crafted large request possibly resulting in the execution of       arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service       condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Redis Development team reports :

Redis 4.0 or newer uses a configurable limit for the maximum supported bulk input size. By default, it is 512MB which is a safe value for all platforms. If the limit is significantly increased, receiving a large request from a client may trigger several integer overflow scenarios, which would result with buffer overflow and heap corruption.

This update for redis fixes the following issues :

redis 6.0.13

  - CVE-2021-29477: Integer overflow in STRALGO LCS command     (boo#1185729)

  - CVE-2021-29478: Integer overflow in COPY command for     large intsets (boo#1185730)

  - Cluster: Skip unnecessary check which may prevent     failure detection

  - Fix performance regression in BRPOP on Redis 6.0

  - Fix edge-case when a module client is unblocked

redis 6.0.12 :

  - Fix compilation error on non-glibc systems if jemalloc     is not used

redis 6.0.11 :

  - CVE-2021-21309: Avoid 32-bit overflows when     proto-max-bulk-len is set high (boo#1182657)

  - Fix handling of threaded IO and CLIENT PAUSE (failover),     could lead to data loss or a crash

  - Fix the selection of a random element from large hash     tables

  - Fix broken protocol in client tracking     tracking-redir-broken message

  - XINFO able to access expired keys on a replica

  - Fix broken protocol in redis-benchmark when used with -a     or --dbnum 

  - Avoid assertions (on older kernels) when testing arm64     CoW bug

  - CONFIG REWRITE should honor umask settings

  - Fix firstkey,lastkey,step in COMMAND command for some     commands

  - RM_ZsetRem: Delete key if empty, the bug could leave     empty zset keys 

redis 6.0.10 :

Command behavior changes :

  - SWAPDB invalidates WATCHed keys (#8239)

  - SORT command behaves differently when used on a writable     replica (#8283)

  - EXISTS should not alter LRU (#8016) In Redis 5.0 and 6.0     it would have touched the LRU/LFU of the key.

  - OBJECT should not reveal logically expired keys (#8016)     Will now behave the same TYPE or any other non-DEBUG     command.

  - GEORADIUS[BYMEMBER] can fail with -OOM if Redis is over     the memory limit (#8107)

Other behavior changes :

  - Sentinel: Fix missing updates to the config file after     SENTINEL SET command (#8229)

  - CONFIG REWRITE is atomic and safer, but requires write     access to the config file's folder (#7824, #8051) This     change was already present in 6.0.9, but was missing     from the release notes.

Bug fixes with compatibility implications (bugs introduced in Redis 6.0) :

  - Fix RDB CRC64 checksum on big-endian systems (#8270) If     you're using big-endian please consider the     compatibility implications with RESTORE, replication and     persistence.

  - Fix wrong order of key/value in Lua's map response     (#8266) If your scripts use redis.setresp() or return a     map (new in Redis 6.0), please consider the     implications.

Bug fixes :

  - Fix an issue where a forked process deletes the parent's     pidfile (#8231)

  - Fix crashes when enabling io-threads-do-reads (#8230)

  - Fix a crash in redis-cli after executing cluster backup     (#8267)

  - Handle output buffer limits for module blocked clients     (#8141) Could result in a module sending reply to a     blocked client to go beyond the limit.

  - Fix setproctitle related crashes. (#8150, #8088) Caused     various crashes on startup, mainly on Apple M1 chips or     under instrumentation.

  - Backup/restore cluster mode keys to slots map for     repl-diskless-load=swapdb (#8108) In cluster mode with     repl-diskless-load, when loading failed, slot map     wouldn't have been restored.

  - Fix oom-score-adj-values range, and bug when used in     config file (#8046) Enabling setting this in the config     file in a line after enabling it, would have been buggy.

  - Reset average ttl when empty databases (#8106) Just     causing misleading metric in INFO

  - Disable rehash when Redis has child process (#8007) This     could have caused excessive CoW during BGSAVE,     replication or AOFRW.

  - Further improved ACL algorithm for picking categories     (#7966) Output of ACL GETUSER is now more similar to the     one provided by ACL SETUSER.

  - Fix bug with module GIL being released prematurely     (#8061) Could in theory (and rarely) cause     multi-threaded modules to corrupt memory.

  - Reduce effect of client tracking causing feedback loop     in key eviction (#8100)

  - Fix cluster access to unaligned memory (SIGBUS on old     ARM) (#7958)

  - Fix saving of strings larger than 2GB into RDB files     (#8306)

Additional improvements :

  - Avoid wasteful transient memory allocation in certain     cases (#8286, #5954)

Platform / toolchain support related improvements :

  - Fix crash log registers output on ARM. (#8020)

  - Add a check for an ARM64 Linux kernel bug (#8224) Due to     the potential severity of this issue, Redis will print     log warning on startup.

  - Raspberry build fix. (#8095)

New configuration options :

  - oom-score-adj-values config can now take absolute values     (besides relative ones) (#8046)

Module related fixes :

  - Moved RMAPI_FUNC_SUPPORTED so that it's usable (#8037)

  - Improve timer accuracy (#7987)

  - Allow '\0' inside of result of RM_CreateStringPrintf     (#6260)

redis 6.0.9 :

  - potential heap overflow when using a heap allocator     other than jemalloc or glibc's malloc. Does not affect     the openSUSE package - boo#1178205 

  - Memory reporting of clients argv

  - Add redis-cli control on raw format line delimiter

  - Add redis-cli support for rediss:// -u prefix

  - WATCH no longer ignores keys which have expired for     MULTI/EXEC

  - Correct OBJECT ENCODING response for stream type
