Debian DSA-3634-1 : redis - security update

low Nessus Plugin ID 92642

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that redis, a persistent key-value database, did not properly protect redis-cli history files: they were created by default with world-readable permissions.

Users and systems administrators may want to proactively change permissions on existing ~/rediscli_history files, instead of waiting for the updated redis-cli to do so the next time it is run.

Solution

Upgrade the redis packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.8.17-1+deb8u5.
