    Package        : redis     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-67733 CVE-2026-21863     Debian Bug     :

    Brief introduction

    CVE-2025-67733

        A flaw in the Lua scripting error path allowed an authenticated user         to embed CR/LF byte sequences in an error reply produced via         redis.error_reply() or the Lua error() function. Because RESP uses         CRLF as a frame delimiter, an injected sequence could be interpreted         by the client as the start of an unrelated reply, allowing an         attacker to inject arbitrary content into the response stream and         tamper with data read by other commands on the same connection.

    CVE-2026-21863

        The cluster bus packet validation in clusterProcessPacket() did not         verify that the gossip-section count and per-extension header         declared by an incoming PING, PONG or MEET message actually fit         within the received packet. A peer with access to the cluster bus         port could send a specially crafted message whose declared lengths         exceed the packet size, causing the server to read out of bounds and         potentially crash, resulting in a denial of service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 5:7.0.15-1~deb12u7.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8.0.2-3+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.
