From VID-0E38B8F8-75DD-11EB-83F2-8C164567CA3C:
Redis Development team reports:
Redis 4.0 or newer uses a configurable limit for
the maximum supported bulk input size. By default,
it is 512MB which is a safe value for all platforms.
If the limit is significantly increased, receiving a
large request from a client may trigger several
integer overflow scenarios, which would result with
buffer overflow and heap corruption.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
