NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream redis package and not the redis package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

networking.c in Redis before 3.2.7 allows "Cross Protocol Scripting" because it lacks a check for POST and Host: strings, which are not valid in the Redis protocol (but commonly occur when an attack triggers an HTTP request to the Redis TCP port).
