Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data

structure server because keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, or

sorted sets.

 

An integer-wraparound flaw leading to a stack-based overflow was found in

Redis. A user with access to run Lua code in a Redis session could possibly

use this flaw to crash the server (denial of service) or gain code

execution outside of the Lua sandbox. (CVE-2015-8080)

 

All users of redis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

correct this issue.
