    ## Valkey 8.1.10  -  Released Mon 31 August 2026

    Upgrade urgency SECURITY: This release includes security fixes we recommend you apply as soon as possible.

    ### Security Fixes

    * GHSA-jcj7-v34w-v9vv: Fix a use-after-free in RDMA connection handling that could allow an authenticated
    client to crash the server using CLIENT KILL. Only affects servers built with USE_RDMA and configured with
    an RDMA listener (#4534)

    ### Bug Fixes

    * Fix a double free when a module timer callback stops its own timer with `ValkeyModule_StopTimer` by
    @quanyeyang (#4211)
    * RESET now clears the `CLIENT IMPORT-SOURCE` flag so reused pooled connections stop reading logically
    expired keys by @tjade273 (#3973)
    * Fix AOF recovery of a truncated MULTI/EXEC block that could cause new writes to be lost after a
    subsequent restart by @chzhoo (#4342)
    * Fix an ACL bypass where duplicate STORE/STOREDIST options in GEORADIUS commands escaped key write
    permission checks by @tjade273 (#3971)
    * Fix a use-after-free crash when a cluster message of a module-registered type arrives after the module
    is unloaded by @enjoy-binbin (#4360)
    * Fix out-of-bounds access when registering or receiving cluster module messages of type 255, which is now
    fully supported by @enjoy-binbin (#4410)
    * Skip ACL permission checks when replaying the AOF, preventing silent data loss when users are restricted
    or disabled by @lukepalmer (#3984)
    * Fix a client memory accounting leak that inflated `mem_clients_normal` on replicas after disconnecting
    from the primary by @enjoy-binbin (#4395)
    * Always validate listpacks on RDB load and RESTORE to prevent deferred crashes; `sanitize-dump-payload`
    and the related ACL flags are now deprecated no-ops by @jjuleslasarte (#3721)
    * Fix a stack overflow crash when retrying large TLS writes after an OpenSSL write error by @murphyjacob4
    (#4307)
    * Validate PUBLISH and MODULE cluster bus packet lengths, preventing a crash from forged packets with
    oversized payload lengths by @tjade273 (#3972)
    * Reject crafted stream RESTORE/RDB payloads with inconsistent lengths or negative field counts that could
    crash the server by @madolson (#3922)
    * Fix a use-after-free crash when serving multiple clients blocked on the same key if one is freed during
    processing by @quanyeyang (#4212)
    * Fix CLUSTER SLOT-STATS ORDERBY sorting when slot statistics differ by more than 2^31 by @jzy1688 (#4459)
