Valkey is a distributed key-value database. Prior to 7.2.14, 8.0.10, 8.1.9, 9.0.5, and 9.1.1, Valkey's RESTORE command accepts a malformed RDB stream payload that assigns one Pending Entry List NACK to multiple consumers during stream consumer-group deserialization, causing a use-after-free when one consumer is deleted while another still references the shared NACK and potentially allowing remote code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 7.2.14, 8.0.10, 8.1.9, 9.0.5, and 9.1.1.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3483-1 advisory.

    This update for valkey fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2026-56684: use-after-free in TLS connection handling (bsc#1272443).
    - CVE-2026-63639: RCE via corrupt stream RDB files containing a shared NACK       across consumers (bsc#1272442).

    Changes for valkey:

    - Update to 8.0.10.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2011 advisory.

    A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Valkey's TLS connection handling that can crash the server that     can potentially lead to remote code execution. When TLS is enabled, the server keeps a list of connections     that have leftover data waiting to be read. While working through that list, one connection being closed     can cause Valkey to access memory belonging to another connection that was just freed.

    This happens when an authenticated client closes a connection (for example, via CLIENT KILL) while another     TLS connection still has buffered data pending. The freed memory could in principle be reclaimed and     controlled via heap grooming which can lead to a potential remote code execution.

    This issue only affects deployments with TLS enabled. Non-TLS deployments are not affected.
    (CVE-2026-56684)

    An authenticated user may use a specially crafted RESTORE command to inject a malformed RDB payload     containing duplicate Pending Entry List (PEL) assignments. This triggers a use-after-free during stream     consumer group deserialization or consumer deletion, potentially leading to remote code execution.

    The problem exists in all versions of Valkey. (CVE-2026-63639)
