    Package        : redis
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-46981 CVE-2024-51741

    Two security issues were discovered in Redis, a persistent key-value
    database, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code or
    denial of service.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 5:7.0.15-1~deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.

    For the detailed security status of redis please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/redis

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
