CVE-2021-32765
Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. In affected versions Hiredis is vulnurable to integer overflow if provided maliciously crafted or corrupted `RESP` `mult-bulk` protocol data. When parsing `multi-bulk` (array-like) replies, hiredis fails to check if `count * sizeof(redisReply*)` can be represented in `SIZE_MAX`. If it can not, and the `calloc()` call doesn't itself make this check, it would result in a short allocation and subsequent buffer overflow. Users of hiredis who are unable to update may set the [maxelements](https://github.com/redis/hiredis#reader-max-array-elements) context option to a value small enough that no overflow is possible.

"value": "Hiredis es una librería cliente minimalista en C para la base de datos Redis. En las versiones afectadas, Hiredis es vulnerable al desbordamiento de enteros si se proporcionan datos del protocolo \"RESP\" \"multi-bulk\" maliciosamente diseñados o corruptos. Cuando se analizan las respuestas \"multi-bulk\" (tipo array), hiredis no comprueba si \"count * sizeof(redisReply*)\" puede representarse en \"SIZE_MAX\". Si no puede, y la llamada a \"calloc()\" no hace por sí misma esta comprobación, se produciría una asignación corta y el consiguiente desbordamiento del búfer. Los usuarios de hiredis que no puedan actualizar pueden establecer la opción de contexto [maxelements](https://github.com/redis/hiredis#reader-max-array-elements) a un valor lo suficientemente pequeño como para que no sea posible el desbordamiento"
