Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Redis, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========
Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store,
used as a database, cache and message broker.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 dev-db/redis < 3.2.5 >= 3.2.5
>= 3.0.7

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Redis. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======
A remote attacker, able to connect to a Redis instance, could issue
malicious commands possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service
condition.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All Redis 3.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/redis-3.0.7"
