DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in valkey-io valkey up to 9.5.4/9.1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is the function createSlotImportJob of the file src/cluster_migrateslots.c of the component Slot Migration. The manipulation of the argument job_name results in out-of-bounds read. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 9.0.5 and 9.1.1 addresses this issue. The patch is identified as f4dc3ca09eb650c2fe14060090a41c524eca803f. Upgrading the affected component is advised.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in Valkey's cluster slot-migration RDB loader allows a network-positioned attacker to crash affected servers by supplying a crafted RDB file with a truncated job_name field in an RDB_OPCODE_SLOT_IMPORT record. Valkey versions up to 9.0.4 and 9.1.0 running in cluster mode are affected; the vulnerable createSlotImportJob() function in src/cluster_migrateslots.c performs a fixed 40-byte memcpy without first validating that the loaded job_name is exactly CLUSTER_NAMELEN bytes, triggering CWE-125 on undersized input. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target Valkey server must be running with `cluster-enabled yes` for the vulnerable `RDB_OPCODE_SLOT_IMPORT` parsing path to be active. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) scores this at 6.9, reflecting network-reachable availability impact only - no confidentiality or integrity compromise is confirmed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Valkey 9.0.5 (for the 9.0.x branch) or Valkey 9.1.1 (for the 9.1.x branch), which incorporate the length-validation fix from commit f4dc3ca09eb650c2fe14060090a41c524eca803f via PR #4210 (https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/pull/4210). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
