CVE-2015-8080: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 4.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer overflow in the getnum function in lua_struct.c in Redis 2.8.x before 2.8.24 and 3.0.x before 3.0.6 allows context-dependent attackers with permission to run Lua code in a Redis session to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly bypass intended sandbox restrictions via a large number, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 42.1 only
• Opensuse Opensuse: version 13.2 only
• Red Hat Openstack: version 6.0 only; version 7.0 only
