high Nessus Plugin ID 295798

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of redis / valkey installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-31449 advisory.

 - Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. An authenticated user May use a specially crafted Lua script to trigger a stack buffer overflow in the bit library, which May potentially lead to remote code execution. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting. This problem has been fixed in Redis versions 6.2.16, 7.2.6, and 7.4.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-31449)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
