Important: redis:7 security update

Redis 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. For performance, Redis works with an in-memory data set. You can persist it either by dumping the data set to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log.

Security Fix(es):

  • redis: Redis' Lua library commands may lead to remote code execution (CVE-2024-46981)
  • redis: Redis allows denial-of-service due to malformed ACL selectors (CVE-2024-51741)

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.
