Valkey 9.1.3 - Released Mon 26 October 2026

Upgrade urgency SECURITY: This release includes security fixes we recommend you apply as soon as possible.

Security Fixes

  • GHSA-f4q9-j22m-xqq9: Fix a heap buffer overflow in cluster Pub/Sub message construction that could allow an authenticated client to potentially execute arbitrary code by publishing an oversized message by @roshkhatri (#5030)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix stream commands that mutate consumer-group or PEL state (XGROUP, XSETID, XREADGROUP, XACK, XCLAIM, XAUTOCLAIM) not triggering WATCH and client-side tracking invalidation by @Tarte12 (#3459)
  • Reject module write commands while the server is paused for writes, preventing a crash from module timer callbacks during CLIENT PAUSE WRITE or CLUSTER FAILOVER by @smkher (#3645)
  • Fix event loop busy-spinning on virtual machines by not using raw TSC for the monotonic clock when the kernel clocksource is not tsc by @quanyeyang (#4707)
  • Fix a crash in ValkeyModule_HashHasStringRef on a missing or expired field and correct wrong return values in the hash stringRef module APIs by @ShubhamTaple (#4504)
  • Fix a server abort on a RESTORE payload declaring a string length that overflows the allocation size; such payloads are now rejected as bad data by @enjoy-binbin (#4733)
  • Fix ZINTER/ZINTERSTORE returning input-order-dependent scores when a weighted term is 0*inf; a NaN weighted score now counts as 0, matching ZUNION by @leomurillo (#4997)
  • Clear a stale primary-failure gossip flag on replicas so later failovers don't incorrectly skip the election delay by @charsyam (#4533)
  • Correct ValkeyModule_FreeModuleUser, ValkeyModule_ACLAddLogEntry and ValkeyModule_ACLAddLogEntryByUserName declarations to return int as implemented, fixing undefined behavior on targets with strict call signature checks by @rainsupreme (#4676)
  • valkey-check-aof now recognizes RDB base files with the VALKEY signature instead of misreporting a valid multipart AOF as invalid by @sarthakaggarwal97 (#4739)
  • Fix module commands that access undeclared keys in other slots reading or writing the wrong slot in cluster mode, and aborting in debug builds by @patrickswedish (#4424)
  • Reject relative expire times in SET/GETEX, RESTORE, and ValkeyModule_SetExpire that overflow when added to the current time, preventing server aborts from negative expires by @madolson (#4880)
  • HDEL, HGETDEL, HPERSIST, and HEXPIRE no longer propagate fields they treat as expired, preventing replica and AOF-reload divergence by @xdk-amz (#4772)
  • Fix a server crash when loading an ACL file containing a selector with an unmatched parenthesis by @magic-peach (#4214)
  • Fix a segfault on Alpine/musl when Lua is built as a module, caused by a symbol clash on an internal clock function by @mohammedgqudah (#4270)
  • COPY of a hash now includes expired-but-unreaped fields so their deletion is propagated and replicas stay in sync by @pirate329 (#4939)
  • Restore acceptance of hexadecimal float sorted set scores (such as 0x10), keeping replication and AOF replay compatible with Valkey 9.0 by @quanyeyang (#4875)
  • Sorted set range commands with a negative LIMIT offset now return an empty result instead of a spurious element on btree-encoded keys by @xiaocj (#4637)
  • Fix listpack encoding incompatibility that caused RDB load and replication failures for entries of certain lengths between 9.0 and 9.1.x by @jjuleslasarte (#4819)
  • Fix atomic slot migration not replicating evictions on the import target, which let replicas grow far past maxmemory by @shanezx-sc (#4920)
  • Redact error text in server logs when hide-user-data-from-log is enabled, so command arguments no longer leak into logs by @zackcam (#4815)
  • Fix HSETEX and HGETEX failing to parse their arguments when the key is named fields by @sebxt (#4945)
  • Fix cluster config saving to avoid publishing truncated nodes.conf files, losing the startup lock after the first save, and failing every save on SMB filesystems such as Azure Files; the lock now lives on a separate nodes.conf.lock file by @KewangZhili (#4489)
  • Fix LSET on 64-bit builds silently modifying the wrong element for out-of-range indexes instead of returning an index out of range error by @charsyam (#4823)
  • Fix atomic slot migration with cluster-databases > 1 applying writes made during the snapshot to the wrong database on the target by @pirate329 (#4952)
