The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2021-2034 advisory.
STRALGO LCS
command to corrupt the heap and potentially result with remote code execution. The problem is fixed in version 6.2.3 and 6.0.13. An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to use ACL configuration to prevent clients from using the STRALGO LCS
command. (CVE-2021-29477)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and

`STRALGO LCS` command to corrupt the heap and potentially result with remote code execution. The problem
is fixed in version 6.2.3 and 6.0.13. An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching
