that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7824-1 advisory.

    Benny Isaacs, Nir Brakha, and Sagi Tzadik discovered that Redis incorrectly handled memory when running
    Lua scripts. An authenticated attacker could use this vulnerability to trigger a use-after-free condition,
    and potentially

    achieve remote code execution on the Redis server.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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