Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Redis up to 7.4.3. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the component Multi-bulk Command Argument Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

Redis through 7.4.3 allows memory consumption via a multi-bulk command composed of many bulks, sent by an authenticated user. This occurs because the server allocates memory for the command arguments of every bulk, even when the command is skipped because of insufficient permissions.

This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-46686 since 04/27/2025. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
