 Package : redis CVE ID : CVE-2025-46817 CVE-2025-46818 CVE-2025-46819 CVE-2025-49844

 Multiple security issues were discovered in the Lua scripting interface of Redis, a persistent key-value database, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

 For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 5:7.0.15-1~deb12u6.

 For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 5:8.0.2-3+deb13u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

 For the detailed security status of redis please refer to its security tracker page at:
