An additional workaround to mitigate the problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent clients from directly executing `CONFIG SET`: Using Redis 6.0 or newer, ACL configuration can be used to block the command. Make sure you use one of these versions if you are running 32-bit Redis. **This problem only affects 32-bit Redis (on a 32-bit system, or as a 32-bit executable running on a 64-bit system).** The problem is fixed in version 6.2, and the fix is back ported to 6.0.11 and 5.0.11. By default, authenticated Redis users have access to all configuration parameters and can therefore use the “CONFIG SET proto-max-bulk-len” to change the safe default, making the system vulnerable.

We believe this could in certain conditions be exploited for remote code execution. If the limit is significantly increased, receiving a large request from a client may trigger several integer overflow scenarios, which would result with buffer overflow and heap corruption. By default, it is 512MB which is a safe value for all platforms. Redis 4.0 or newer uses a configurable limit for the maximum supported bulk input size. In affected versions of Redis an integer overflow bug in 32-bit Redis version 4.0 or newer could be exploited to corrupt the heap and potentially result with remote code execution. Redis is an open-source, in-memory database that persists on disk. The FatPipe advisory identifier for this vulnerability is FPSA004. Older versions of FatPipe software may also be vulnerable. A missing authorization vulnerability in the web management interface of FatPipe WARP, IPVPN, and MPVPN software prior to versions 10.1.2r60p91 and 10.2.2r42 allows a remote attacker to access at least the URL "/fpui/jsp/index.jsp" leading to unknown impact, presumably some violation of confidentiality.
