Rejected out-of-bounds read claim
Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Red Hat CNA-LR rejected the claimed out-of-bounds read in Redis, so this identifier no longer represents a confirmed vulnerability. The withdrawn report alleged that getPingExtLength() failed to validate Cluster Bus PING extension lengths against the remaining message buffer. Because the authoritative CVE record says the claim is not valid, the former version range, adjacent-network gate, and service-interruption or disclosure impacts are not current applicability facts.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
