CVE-2025-27151: redis-check-aof may lead to stack overflow and potential RCE
Medium · CVSS 4.7 (CVSS 3.1)EPSS 1.1%, 64th percentilePublished Updated Assigner: GitHub_M
Description
Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. In versions starting from 7.0.0 to before 8.0.2, a stack-based buffer overflow exists in redis-check-aof due to the use of memcpy with strlen(filepath) when copying a user-supplied file path into a fixed-size stack buffer. This allows an attacker to overflow the stack and potentially achieve code execution. This issue has been patched in version 8.0.2.
