✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: Restrict network access to the Valkey instance to trusted clients and networks by configuring firewall rules to limit inbound connections to the Valkey service port. Ensure only authorized and authenticated clients can connect. If TLS is not strictly required, consider disabling it. These network restrictions will persist if the Valkey service is reloaded or restarted. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, restrict network access to the Valkey instance to only trusted clients and networks. This limits an attacker's ability to send malformed RDB stream payloads to the RESTORE command. Implement firewall rules to block unauthorized access to the Valkey port.
