Redis Community Cluster Bus OOB Read via Unchecked Null-Termination
CVE-2026-92925 Published on September 17, 2026

Out-of-Bounds Read in Cluster Bus
In Redis community the cluster bus PING/PONG/MEET packet parser validated extension padding and total length but never checked that string-carrying extensions are properly null-terminated, allowing a crafted packet to trigger out-of-bounds reads when the payload is later consumed as a C string. This vulnerability can potentially lead to loss of confidentiality or remote denial of service. Redis Software / Redis Enterprise are not affected by this issue.

Weakness Type

Out-of-bounds Read

The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
