Fedora 39: valkey 2024-83e96146cf Critical: Stack Overflow and DoS Risks

The latest update to Valkey 8.0.1 mitigates Remote Code Execution and Denial-of-Service vulnerabilities in Fedora 39, bolstering overall system protection.
update to 8.0.1 fixes (CVE-2024-31449) Lua library commands may lead to stack overflow and potential RCE

Summary

Valkey 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.

You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string;

incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set

intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest

ranking in a sorted set.

In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Valkey works with an

in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either

by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending

each command to a log.

Valkey also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very

fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split

and so forth.

Other features include Transactions, Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a

limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Valkey behave like

a cache.

You can use Valkey from most programming languages also.

Update Information:

update to 8.0.1 fixes (CVE-2024-31449) Lua library commands may lead to stack overflow and potential RCE. (CVE-2024-31227) Potential Denial-of-service due to malformed ACL selectors. (CVE-2024-31228) Potential Denial-of-service due to unbounded pattern matching.
