NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream hiredis package and not the hiredis package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

async.c and dict.c in libhiredis.a in hiredis through 0.14.0 allow a NULL pointer dereference because malloc return values are unchecked.
