HIGH Summary
Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. A specially crafted `XAUTOCLAIM` command on a stream key in a specific state may result with heap overflow, and potentially remote code execution. This problem affects versions on the 7.x branch prior to 7.0.4. The patch is released in version 7.0.4.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
