CVE-2022-3647 (published 2022-10-21T18:15Z)

** DISPUTED ** A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Redis up to 6.2.7/7.0.5. Affected is the function sigsegvHandler of the file debug.c of the component Crash Report. The manipulation leads to denial of service. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. Upgrading to version 6.2.8 and 7.0.6 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 0bf90d944313919eb8e63d3588bf63a367f020a3. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211962 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor claims that this is not a DoS because it applies to the crash logging mechanism which is triggered after a crash has occurred.

CVSS v3 base score: 3.3, LOW (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

Weakness information:

cwe_name: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
description: The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use.
extended_description: When a resource is created or allocated, the developer is responsible for properly releasing the resource as well as accounting for all potential paths of expiration or invalidation, such as a set period of time or revocation.

msg: Avoid crash on crash report when a bad function pointer was called (#11298)

If Redis crashes due to calling an invalid function pointer,
the `backtrace` function will try to dereference this invalid pointer
which will cause a crash inside the crash report and will kill
the processes without having all the crash report information.

Example:

```
=== REDIS BUG REPORT START: Cut & paste starting from here ===
198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Redis 255.255.255 crashed by signal: 11, si_code: 1
198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Accessing address: 0x1
198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Crashed running the instruction at: 0x1
// here the processes is crashing
```

This PR tries to fix this crash be:
1. Identify the issue when it happened.
2. Replace the invalid pointer with a pointer to some dummy function
   so that `backtrace` will not crash.

I identification is done by comparing `eip` to `info->si_addr`, if they
are the same we know that the crash happened on the same address it tries to
accesses and we can conclude that it tries to call and invalid function pointer.

To replace the invalid pointer we introduce a new function, `setMcontextEip`,
which is very similar to `getMcontextEip` and it knows to set the Eip for the
different supported OS's. After printing the trace we retrieve the old `Eip` value.
