# CVE-2024-46981: redis: Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk CVE-2024-46981 is fixed in 18 products on 1 platform, first by redis 5:4.0.9-1ubuntu0.2+esm5, released January 6, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-46981 - Priority: High - CVSS: 9.8 (Medium) - EPSS: 0.0818 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jan 6, 2025 ## Description Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Anauthenticated user may use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate thegarbage collector and potentially lead to remote code execution. Theproblem is fixed in 7.4.2, 7.2.7, and 6.2.17. An additional workaround tomitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is toprevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL torestrict EVAL and EVALSHA commands. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | redict Debian 14 | 7.3.2+ds-1 |
