Fedora 41: valkey 2024-e717420659 critical: stack overflow and DoS risks

fedora
Calendar Grey October 15, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The Valkey 8.0.1 update fixes critical security issues, tackling possible RCE and DoS weaknesses in Fedora 41.
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.
