Description:
Redis is bound to 0.0.0.0:6379 by default, leaving this exposed to the internet can present a huge security vulnerability and allow external users to manipulate data in redis. It should only be bound to localhost by default or a notice should at least be presented upon installation warning the user about this.

Additional info:
* package version:
community/redis 2.6.8-1 on x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install redis
2) nmap -p6379 your public interface
