Comment on An unexpected Redis sandbox escape affecting Debian-based distrosparent

Comments

That's what I'm wondering, too, right now.

It's trivial to DoS-hang redis with the script feature (and SCRIPT KILL won't help).

And I found at least 3 DoS-crash, because it hasn't backported fixes to its copy of Lua 5.1.5 (but Debian's liblua 5.1 might -- I haven't checked).

And that's without even exploring the really problematic builtins it still has available.

Maybe they should instead clarify their security guarantee for redis scripting (e.g. "none").
