patch available.
- go-redis is the official Redis client library for the Go programming language. Prior to 9.5.5, 9.6.3, and
9.7.3, go-redis potentially responds out of order when `CLIENT SETINFO` times out during connection
establishment. This can happen when the client is configured to transmit its identity, there are network
connectivity issues, or the client was configured with aggressive timeouts. The problem occurs for
multiple use cases. For sticky connections, you receive persistent out-of-order responses for the lifetime
of the connection. All commands in the pipeline receive incorrect responses. When used with the default
ConnPool once a connection is returned after use with ConnPool#Put the read buffer will be checked and the
connection will be marked as bad due to the unread data. This means that at most one out-of-order response
before the connection is discarded. This issue is fixed in 9.5.5, 9.6.3, and 9.7.3. You can prevent the
vulnerability by setting the flag DisableIndentity to true when constructing the client instance.
(CVE-2025-29923)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
