The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202210-32 (hiredis, hiredis-py: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  • Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. In affected versions Hiredis is vulnurable to integer overflow if provided maliciously crafted or corrupted RESP mult-bulk protocol data. When parsing multi-bulk (array-like) replies, hiredis fails to check if count * sizeof(redisReply*) can be represented in SIZE_MAX. If it can not, and the calloc() call doesn’t itself make this check, it would result in a short allocation and subsequent buffer overflow. Users of hiredis who are unable to update may set the [maxelements](https://github.com/redis/hiredis#reader-max- array-elements) context option to a value small enough that no overflow is possible. (CVE-2021-32765)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
