CVE-2016-10517
Publication date 24 October 2017
Last updated 24 July 2024
Ubuntu priority
networking.c in Redis before 3.2.7 allows "Cross Protocol Scripting" because it lacks a check for POST and Host: strings, which are not valid in the Redis protocol (but commonly occur when an attack triggers an HTTP request to the Redis TCP port).
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that Redis incorrectly handled certain HTTP POST requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute a Cross Protocol Scripting (CAS) attack.
