Description

RedisTimeSeries is a time-series database (TSDB) module for Redis, by Redis. Executing one of these commands TS.QUERYINDEX, TS.MGET, TS.MRAGE, TS.MREVRANGE by an authenticated user, using specially crafted command arguments may cause an integer overflow, a subsequent heap overflow, and potentially lead to remote code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.20, 1.8.15, 1.10.15, and 1.12.3.

• CWE-122Heap-based Buffer OverflowA heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
• CWE-190Integer Overflow or WraparoundThe product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
