Valkey Security Update — AlmaLinux 9 (ALSA-2026:3507)

ALSA-2026:3507 updates Valkey (the open-source key-value store forked from Redis) on AlmaLinux 9, fixing CVE-2025-67733 and CVE-2026-21863. Update with dnf update valkey and restart the valkey service — servers using Valkey for caching or session storage should not defer this.

What this means under a SharedLicense license

Flaws in the key-value store sit directly in front of session and cache data: exploitation can read, poison or crash the store that applications rely on for logins and state.

Type:

security

Severity:

important

Release date:

2026-10-29

Description:

Valkey is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Valkey works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log. Valkey also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth. Other features include Transactions, Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Valkey behave like a cache. You can use Valkey from most programming languages also.

Security Fix(es):

* Valkey: Valkey: Data tampering and denial of service via improper null character handling in Lua scripts (CVE-2025-67733)
* valkey: Valkey: Denial of Service via invalid clusterbus packet (CVE-2026-21863)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ALSA-2026:3507?
It is AlmaLinux's Valkey erratum for AlmaLinux 9, fixing CVE-2025-67733 and CVE-2026-21863 in the key-value data structure server.
Who is affected?
AlmaLinux 9 servers running Valkey for caching, sessions or queues — common in modern hosting stacks as the Redis-compatible store.
How do I apply the fix?
Run dnf update valkey and restart the valkey service; verify the version afterwards. Application reconnects to the store are handled automatically by most clients.
Is Valkey the same as Redis?
Valkey is the open-source continuation of Redis after its license change — protocol-compatible, and maintained by the Linux Foundation. The CVEs here are fixed in Valkey's own codebase.
