EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : memcached (EulerOS-SA-2020-2208)
high Nessus Plugin ID 141706
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the memcached packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :- The try_read_command function in memcached.c in memcached before 1.4.39 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to add/set a key, which makes a comparison between signed and unsigned int and triggers a heap-based buffer over-read. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-8705.(CVE-2017-9951)
- Memcached version 1.5.5 contains an Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume (Network Amplification, CWE-406) vulnerability in the UDP support of the memcached server that can result in denial of service via network flood (traffic amplification of 1:50,000 has been reported by reliable sources). This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity to port 11211 UDP. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 1.5.6 due to the disabling of the UDP protocol by default.(CVE-2018-1000115)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
