Version        : 2:2.4.14-1+deb7u2
CVE ID         : CVE-2016-1051

It was discovered that there was a "Cross Protocol Scripting" attack in
the Redis key-value database.

"POST" and "Host:" command strings (which are not valid in the Redis
protocol) were not immediately rejected when an attacker makes HTTP
request to the Redis TCP port.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in redis version
2:2.4.14-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your redis packages.
