Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Redis, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
=========
Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store,
used as a database, cache and message broker.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-db/redis                 < 3.2.5                    >= 3.2.5
                                                             >= 3.0.7

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Redis. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker, able to connect to a Redis instance, could issue
malicious commands possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service
condition.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All Redis 3.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/redis-3.0.7"

All Redis 3.2.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/redis-3.2.5"
