Package : redis Version : 5:7.0.15-1~deb12u8 CVE ID : CVE-2026-23631 CVE-2026-25243

It was discovered that there were two issues in Redis, the in-memory key/value database:

CVE-2026-23631

An authenticated attacker could have exploited the master-replica synchronization mechanism to trigger a use-after-free on replicas where replica-read-only is disabled (or could be disabled), which may have led to remote code execution. Installations that prevent users from executing Lua scripts were unaffected.

CVE-2026-25243

The RESTORE command did not properly validate serialized values.
An authenticated attacker with permission to execute RESTORE could have suppled a crafted serialized payload that triggers invalid memory access and this could have led to remote code execution.

For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version 5:7.0.15-1~deb12u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

Solution
