Redis 8.6.6

Security release addressing multiple critical vulnerabilities including heap buffer overflows, use-after-free conditions, ACL authentication bypasses, and TLS certificate validation issues that could lead to memory corruption or unauthorized access.

Update urgency: SECURITY: There are security fixes in the release.

Security fixes

  • (CVE-2026-62356) Miscalculated buffer size in CMSketch RDB loading may lead to heap OOB write
  • Out-of-bounds access in TopK heap cleanup path (MOD-15410)
  • Use-after-free in the TLS pending-data list when a command closes another pending connection
  • #15478 ACL key permission bypass in SORT, GEORADIUS/GEORADIUSBYMEMBER and XREAD/XREADGROUP: the keys validated by ACL could differ from the keys the command actually accesses
  • A malicious RDB payload with an out-of-range SLOT_INFO slot id causes memory corruption during RDB loading, which may lead to Remote Code Execution
  • Vector Sets: missing node level validation when loading a vector set from RDB may lead to out-of-bounds access
  • Vector Sets: use-after-free when VREM mutates the HNSW graph while background VSIM threads are still running
  • Vector Sets: a negative hnsw_search() return was treated as a huge unsigned count, reading past the end of the result arrays
  • TLS client certificate authentication bypass: a Common Name containing an embedded NUL byte was truncated, allowing a client to authenticate as another (possibly privileged) ACL user
  • #15594 Use-after-free in the blocked-client list when reprocessing a command evicts another client blocked on the same key
