Summary
CVE-2024-46981 is a vulnerability affecting Redis, an open-source in-memory database. An authenticated user can exploit this issue by crafting a malicious Lua script to manipulate the garbage collector, potentially leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability is resolved in Redis versions 7.4.2, 7.2.7, and 6.2.17. As a temporary measure, administrators can mitigate the risk by restricting users from executing Lua scripts using Access Control Lists (ACL) and denying access to the EVAL and EVALSHA commands.
