Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached, allowing remote |
19 |
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching |
25 |
system |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 net-misc/memcached < 1.4.17 >= 1.4.17 |
34 |
|
35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
memcached authentication could be bypassed when using SASL due to a |
39 |
flaw related to SASL authentication state. Also several heap-based |
40 |
buffer overflows due to integer conversions when parsing certain length |
41 |
attributes were discovered. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could possibly execute |
47 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of |
48 |
Service condition or authenticate with invalid SASL credentials, |
49 |
bypassing memcached authentication completely. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/memcached-1.4.17" |
