DescriptionNVD

Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Prior to versions 6.2.7 and 7.0.0, an attacker attempting to load a specially crafted Lua script can cause NULL pointer dereference which will result with a crash of the redis-server process. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 7.0.0 and 6.2.7. An additional workaround to mitigate this problem without patching the redis-server executable, if Lua scripting is not being used, is to block access to SCRIPT LOAD and EVAL commands using ACL rules.

AnalysisAI

Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. Prior to versions 6.2.7 and 7.0.0, an attacker attempting to load a specially crafted Lua script can cause NULL pointer dereference which will result with a crash of the redis-server process. The problem is fixed in Redis versions 7.0.0 and 6.2.7. An additional workaround to mitigate this problem without patching the redis-server executable, if Lua scripting is not being used, is to block access to SCRIPT LOAD and EVAL commands using ACL rules. Affected products include: Redis, Fedoraproject Fedora, Netapp Management Services For Element Software, Netapp Management Services For Netapp Hci, Oracle Communications Operations Monitor.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
