Description

Valkey is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Valkey works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log. Valkey also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth. Other features include Transactions, Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Valkey behave like a cache. You can use Valkey from most programming languages also. Security Fix(es): * redis: Lua library commands may lead to integer overflow and potential RCE (CVE-2025-46817) * Redis: Redis: Authenticated users can execute LUA scripts as a different user (CVE-2025-46818) * Redis: Redis is vulnerable to DoS via specially crafted LUA scripts (CVE-2025-46819) * Redis: Redis Lua Use-After-Free may lead to remote code execution (CVE-2025-49844) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Technical Analysis

Valkey, a data structure server supporting various atomic operations and Lua scripting, contains multiple vulnerabilities affecting its Lua scripting engine. These include an integer overflow that may lead to remote code execution (CVE-2025-46817), the ability for authenticated users to execute Lua scripts as different users (CVE-2025-46818), denial of service via specially crafted Lua scripts (CVE-2025-46819), and a use-after-free vulnerability in Lua that may also lead to remote code execution (CVE-2025-49844). Red Hat has released security updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to address these issues.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities allow for potential remote code execution, privilege escalation through executing Lua scripts as different users, and denial of service attacks. These issues pose a high security risk to systems running affected versions of Valkey on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or disrupt service availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released security updates for Valkey in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the available patches as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:19675. For detailed update instructions, refer to https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No indication exists that these issues are already mitigated or require alternative workarounds beyond applying the official update.
