Technical Analysis
Redis, an open source in-memory database, contains a vulnerability (CVE-2024-31227) where an authenticated user with sufficient privileges can create a malformed ACL selector. When this selector is accessed, it triggers a server panic leading to denial of service. This affects Redis versions prior to 7.2.7 and versions 8.0.0 through 8.0.0 (exclusive of 8.0.1). The vulnerability has been patched in versions 7.2.7 and 8.0.1. No workarounds exist.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authentication and sufficient privileges can cause the Redis server to panic and become unavailable by creating and accessing a malformed ACL selector. This results in a denial of service condition, impacting availability of the Redis service.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available and users should upgrade to Redis version 7.2.7 or later, or 8.0.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. There are no known workarounds. Applying the official fix is the recommended mitigation.
