Summary

Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server because keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, or sorted sets.
An integer-wraparound flaw leading to a stack-based overflow was found in Redis. A user with access to run Lua code in a Redis session could possibly use this flaw to crash the server (denial of service) or gain code execution outside of the Lua sandbox. (CVE-2015-8080)
All users of redis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.
