Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached, allowing remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background
==========

memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching
system

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 net-misc/memcached < 1.4.17 >= 1.4.17

Description
===========

memcached authentication could be bypassed when using SASL due to a
flaw related to SASL authentication state. Also several heap-based
buffer overflows due to integer conversions when parsing certain length
attributes were discovered.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of
Service condition or authenticate with invalid SASL credentials,
bypassing memcached authentication completely.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=net-misc/memcached-1.4.17”
