Synopsis
========

An integer overflow has been found in hiredis which could result in
arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database.

hiredis-py is a Python extension that wraps hiredis.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/hiredis < 1.0.1 >= 1.0.1
2 dev-python/hiredis < 2.0.0 >= 2.0.0

Description
===========

Hiredis is vulnerable 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.

Impact
======

Malicious Redis commands could result in remote code execution.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All hiredis users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/hiredis-1.0.1"

All hiredis-py users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/hiredis-2.0.0"
