CVE-2022-24834: 
Redis vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2022-24834 is a critical security vulnerability discovered in Redis, an in-memory database that persists on disk. The vulnerability affects all versions of Redis with Lua scripting support, starting from version 2.6. A specially crafted Lua script executing in Redis can trigger a heap overflow in the cjson library, resulting in heap corruption and potentially remote code execution. The vulnerability was discovered by Seiya Nakata and Yudai Fujiwara, security researchers from Ricerca Security, Inc., and was patched in Redis versions 7.0.12, 6.2.13, and 6.0.20 (Redis Advisory).

The vulnerability is classified as a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) and integer overflow to buffer overflow (CWE-680). It received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability specifically affects the cjson and cmsgpack libraries used by Redis for Lua script processing (NVD).

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to heap corruption and potentially remote code execution. The impact is significant as it affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. However, the vulnerability can only be exploited by authenticated and authorized users who have permission to execute Lua scripts (Redis Advisory, NetApp Advisory).

The primary mitigation is to upgrade Redis to the patched versions: 7.0.12, 6.2.13, or 6.0.20. For systems that cannot be immediately updated, a workaround is available by preventing users from executing Lua scripts through ACL restrictions on EVAL and EVALSHA commands (Redis Advisory).
