Description
Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an authenticated user to use a specially crafted LUA script to read out-of-bound data or crash the server and subsequent denial of service. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2. To workaround this issue without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL to block a script by restricting both the EVAL and FUNCTION command families.

CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
CWE-125 The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Redis versions 8.2.1 and below allows an authenticated user to use a specially crafted LUA script to read data outside the intended boundaries or to crash the server, causing a denial of service. It affects all versions of Redis with Lua scripting enabled and is fixed in version 8.2.2. A workaround without patching is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts by restricting the EVAL and FUNCTION command families using ACL.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an authenticated user to read out-of-bound data, potentially exposing sensitive information, or cause the Redis server to crash, resulting in denial of service and disruption of services relying on Redis.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability immediately without patching, prevent users from executing Lua scripts by using ACL to block the EVAL and FUNCTION command families. Alternatively, upgrade Redis to version 8.2.2 or later where the issue is fixed.
