Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
RedisBloom adds a set of probabilistic data structures to Redis. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.4.7 and 2.6.10, specially crafted `CF.LOADCHUNK` commands may be used by authenticated users to perform heap overflow, which may lead to remote code execution. The problem is fixed in RedisBloom 2.4.7 and 2.6.10.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-120

A fixed-size buffer is filled without checking the length of the incoming data, so it overflows into neighbouring memory. This is the classic overflow attackers use to overwrite return addresses and hijack execution. The fix is strict length checks and safe, bounded string and memory functions.

Recommended fix High confidence

RedisBloom 2.4.7 or 2.6.10

  1. Identify the currently installed RedisBloom version using the Redis `MODULE LIST` command or checking your deployment manifests
  2. If running RedisBloom version 2.0.0 through 2.4.6, plan upgrade to version 2.4.7
  3. If running RedisBloom version 2.0.0 through 2.6.9, alternatively plan upgrade to version 2.6.10
  4. Stop Redis server safely to prevent data loss
  5. Upgrade RedisBloom to the chosen fixed version using your package manager or rebuild from source at https://github.com/RedisBloom/RedisBloom
  6. Restart Redis server and verify the module loads successfully with `MODULE LIST`
  7. Test that the CF.LOADCHUNK command functions correctly with legitimate workloads
