    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-46817:
    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an
    authenticated user to use a specially crafted Lua script to cause an integer overflow and potentially lead
    to remote code execution The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting. This issue is
    fixed in version 8.2.2.

    CVE-2025-46818:
    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an
    authenticated user to use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate different LUA objects and
    potentially run their own code in the context of another user. The problem exists in all versions of Redis
    with LUA scripting. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2. A workaround to mitigate the problem without
    patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing LUA scripts. This can be done
    using ACL to block a script by restricting both the EVAL and FUNCTION command families.

    CVE-2025-46819:
    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an
    authenticated user to use a specially crafted LUA script to read out-of-bound data or crash the server and
    subsequent denial of service. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting. This issue
    is fixed in version 8.2.2. To workaround this issue without patching the redis-server executable is to
    prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL to block a script by restricting both
    the EVAL and FUNCTION command families.

    CVE-2025-49844:
    Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. Versions 8.2.1 and below allow an
    authenticated user to use a specially crafted Lua script to manipulate the garbage collector, trigger a
    use-after-free and potentially lead to remote code execution. The problem exists in all versions of Redis
    with Lua scripting. This issue is fixed in version 8.2.2. To workaround this issue without patching the
    redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This can be done using ACL to
    restrict EVAL and EVALSHA commands.
