Redis · Redis · CVE-2015-8080
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Redis versions 2.8.x through 2.8.23
Redis versions 3.0.x through 3.0.5
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the getnum function in lua struct.c. This allows context-dependent attackers with permission to run Lua code in a Redis session to cause a denial of service, including memory corruption and application crash, or possibly bypass intended sandbox restrictions. The attack is triggered by a large number, which causes a stack-based buffer overflow.
**Recommendations**
For Redis versions 2.8.x through 2.8.23, update to version 2.8.24 or later.
For Redis versions 3.0.x through 3.0.5, update to version 3.0.6 or later.
