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)
