Integer Overflow, Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

An integer overflow was found in Redis. Redis 4.0 or newer uses a configurable limit for the maximum supported bulk input size. The default size is 512MB which is a safe value for all platforms. Authenticated Redis users could increase the bulk input size by changing the "proto-max-bulk-len" configuration parameter, leading to heap corruption and potentially remote code execution.

Remedy

As recommended in the upstream advisory, this issue can be mitigated by preventing clients from directly executing `CONFIG SET`: * Using Redis 6.0 or newer, ACL configuration can be used to block the command. * Using older versions, the `rename-command` configuration directive can be used to rename the command to a random string unknown to users, rendering it inaccessible.
