Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS2023-2026-2011
Advisory Released Date: 2026-08-04
Advisory Updated Date: 2026-08-04
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Valkey's TLS connection handling that can crash the server that can potentially lead to remote code execution. When TLS is enabled, the server keeps a list of connections that have leftover data waiting to be read. While working through that list, one connection being closed can cause Valkey to access memory belonging to another connection that was just freed.
This happens when an authenticated client closes a connection (for example, via CLIENT KILL) while another TLS connection still has buffered data pending. The freed memory could in principle be reclaimed and controlled via heap grooming which can lead to a potential remote code execution.
This issue only affects deployments with TLS enabled. Non-TLS deployments are not affected. (CVE-2026-56684)
An authenticated user may use a specially crafted RESTORE command to inject a malformed RDB payload containing duplicate Pending Entry List (PEL) assignments. This triggers a use-after-free during stream consumer group deserialization or consumer deletion, potentially leading to remote code execution.
The problem exists in all versions of Valkey. (CVE-2026-63639)
Affected Packages:
valkey
Issue Correction:
Run dnf update valkey --releasever 2023.12.20260803 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-2011 --releasever 2023.12.20260803 to update your system.
