Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-4335)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Redis before 2.8.21 and 3.x before 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Lua bytecode via the eval command.


2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8080)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the getnum function in lua_struct.c when processing a large number, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
