Details

It was discovered that Redis incorrectly handled the hyperloglog data structure.
An attacker could use this issue to cause Redis to crash, resulting in a denial
of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 19.04

• redis - 5:5.0.3-4ubuntu0.1
• redis-tools - 5:5.0.3-4ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 18.04
