Debian DLA-1329-1 : memcached security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 108729

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

memcached version prior to 1.4.37 contains an Integer Overflow vulnerability that can result in data corruption and deadlocks. This attack is exploitable via network connectivity to the memcached service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.13-0.2+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected memcached package.
