  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary


Several security issues were fixed in Redis.

Software Description

It was discovered that Redis incorrectly handled the hyperloglog data structure. An attacker could use this issue to cause Redis to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
