The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in RedisArrayAggregator when processing RESP array headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted array header with a large declared element count to cause a denial of service.
